"Hala" via Aplle TV+

If there was one good reason to sign up and get Apple TV+  it's this movie.

"Hala" is coming to Apple TV on December 6th and you don't want to miss it. The film made waves at this year's Sundance Film Festival and Apple TV snatched up the rights. It will have a small theatrical run starting November 22, so you may be able to catch it in a theater near you if you prefer to see it on the big screen.

"Hala" is a coming of age story of a Pakistani American teenager.  Hala is a 17-year-old who likes poetry and skateboarding. She also likes a boy who enjoys the same things, but her father wants to arrange a marriage for her in the traditional Muslim manner.

As she comes into her own, she grapples with a secret that threatens to unravel her family.

Hala is played by actress Geraldine Viswanathan. Anna Chlumsky, Jack Kilmer, Gabriel Luna, Azad Khan, and Purbi Joshi also star in the movie.

 "Hala" was written and directed by Minhal Baig and produced by actress Jada Pinkett Smith (wife of Will Smith).
