Synopsis for David:David tells the story of an 11-year-old Muslim boy growing up in Brooklyn. As the son of the Imam of the local mosque, Daud has to juggle his father's high expectations, the dynamics of a conservative family, and being different—even from his Muslim peers. Through an innocent act of good faith, he befriends a group of Yeshiva students who mistake him for being Jewish and accept him as one of their own. Unable to resist the joy of a camaraderie that he has never felt before, David, as he's now known to the Jewish boys, is drawn into a complicated situation based upon both the best of intentions and youthful deceit.
