The Price (2017)

Aml Ameen is a Harvard graduated, Nigerian born trader working on Wall Street, caving under the pressure of the job and his immigrant family’s expectations. When the tension brings him to process an illegal trade, his carefully structured life starts to break down. While the Black immigrant experience of the protagonist is a bit of a new one, the rest of the film regarding young traders and the pressure they feel isn’t. I found myself more interested in Hope Olaide Wilson’s role as the protagonist’s sister. Instead of balking against their family’s expectations, she maintains them and tries to be a bridge between the other family members, but her motivations for doing so are less clear.
