• When I was in my 20s and 30s, there was such a variety and diversity of types of films that you could see. So many of them were really more about the human condition and about relationships between people, and they were smaller films that had a much greater impact on me as a human being.

In other countries, it would be a great offense to remove their shoes when they come into the mosque, a sign of disrespect.

I wanted to kind of have this title to have you be open to the experience, and then you enter it and you do see the realities.
