Barkhad Abdi is having a "Good Time"

byMurtada
You know who might be having a big 2017 in film?Barkhad Abdi.He has three interesting projects coming out,starting withDabkawhich will play this month at the Tribeca Film Festival.Written and directed by Bryan Buckley (The Bronze) it's the true story of a reporter's risk-taking adventure that gave him an unprecedented first-person account of the pirates of Somalia.Evan Peters plays the reporter Jay Bahadur on whose best selling book,The Pirates of Somalia: Inside Their Hidden World,the film is based.Abdi plays a local fixer who helped Bahadur embed himself with the Somali pirates.So he hasn't gone very far from the world of his Oscar nominated performance inCaptain Phillips(2013).
