Thanks to a strict Muslim upbringing that largely shielded him from the outside world, Tariq’s first year of college proves transformative. That is, until the 9/11 terrorist attacks invite growing suspicion and distrust from his angry classmates.
this is such a raw, honest, and emotional movie. how the hell could anyone rate this two stars? the performances are so believable and i am so impressed with nia long and evan ross. they really committed to their roles. as someone who grew up muslim, the way 9/11 has shaped my entire childhood and what people think about muslims is absolutely HEARTBREAKING and this is such an important, well done movie.
