It's not too often the red carpet is rolled out in Williston, North Dakota, but a very special premiere will be hitting the bigscreen tonight

"American Herro" is a documentary following

the life of Herro Mustafa, a refugee who fled Iraq for North Dakota, and now works for the Obama administration.

The Film was directed by Mustafa's childhood friend, Kirk Roos, who's already held premiere events in Minot, Fargo, and even Washington, D.C.

This evening, the Williston Young Professionals organization will be showing the movie free of charge, and also providing pizza.

Organizer, Russell Larson, believes the film portrays an important message that needs to be shared.

(Russell Larson, Organizer) "I felt, here's an individual who can share his experiences and his friends' experiences with others of the community and tell people that just because you're from North Dakota, it means that you have the right stuff to succeed."


Filmmaker Kirk Roos will be in attenDance at the movie presentation, which begins tonight at 6 pm in the Williston Community Library. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
