Eme Na­kia is the title of a uni­que 16-​mi­nu­te film that Tony Haj­jar along with his band Spar­ta re­lea­sed as part of a spe­cial edi­tion of their new al­bum, Th­rees. The word Eme means Mot­her in Ara­bic, and Na­kia was the na­me of Tonys mot­her. The film te­lls the story of Haj­jar's (Spar­ta's
drum­mer) re­mar­ka­ble child­hood: He was born in Bei­rut and at the age of 5, along with his fa­mily, fled his coun­try du­ring the Le­ba­ne­se ci­vil war of 1975-​1990. They im­mi­gra­ted to the Uni­ted Sta­tes, settling in the spra­wling west Te­xas bor­der town of El Pa­so. When Haj­jar was four­teen his mot­her died af­ter a bout with can­cer and his fat­her, who had been dis­tant, left the fa­mily. His brot­her, only 18-​years old at the ti­me, as­su­med res­pon­si­bi­lity for the fa­mily and rai­sed Tony and his sis­ter. In
the film, we fo­llow Haj­jar's early li­fe story, sho­wing the va­rious cha­llen­ges he and his fa­mily en­du­red and en­ding with him in the
pre­sent-​day.
