Beautiful and poignant

This doc had me hooked immediately. The different stories all tie together so perfectly and poignantly. I laughed so hard, and cried a lot. No matter who you are, what you're going through, something in this documentary will speak to you. The way Ahsen discusses his past and religious trauma is absolutely perfect and heartbreaking. His journey for answers is captivating, and would make anyone want to seek answers of their own. The edit and music move this film forward in such a beautiful way. This is a must watch, and no doubt a contender for best doc of 2022.
