ABU

As a gay man, filmmaker Arshad Khan examines his troubled relationship with his devout, Muslim father Abu. Using family archives and movies, Khan explores his struggle with his identity and compares it to his parents attempts to fit into Canada.

Imaginatively using a collage of home videos and animation, filmmaker Arshad Khan takes us through his conflict-ridden story of coming out to his parents. This deeply personal documentary is both a tender account of a family history and of a generation caught between modernity and tradition.
