Directed by Michigan's own, Sultan Sharrief. Bilal, a Muslim high school senior in Detroit, works long hours to keep up both his grades and his family’s long-owned taxi stand. “The Stand” has been the family’s social and financial hub for sixty years, and now Bilal is destined to carry the torch. Yet despite a series of setbacks at home, Bilal secretly submits a college application and takes up ice carving in order to win a scholarship. Now he is forced to decide whether to continue running The Stand, the only life he has ever known, or take a chance at social mobility.
