An independent fiction film that has won accolades for its authenticity and quintessential New York feel.  Man Push Cart tells the story of Ahmad, a handsome rock star in his native Pakistan until circumstances land him in New York City selling coffee out of a silver pushcart.  Now his life feels achingly routine and without hope as he wakes up before dawn each day and hauls his heavy cart through Manhattan traffic to his regular corner, where he sells coffee and bagels to the haves of the world.  Ahmad Razvi gives a subtle performance as the title character, playing him with shy dignity as he strains to reclaim his life amid obstacles of friendship, false promise, and deceit.  There is as much mystery at the end of this film as there is at the beginning.  But Ahmad has become so real he is almost tangible.  RYS
