"It's with a story, an ongoing performance of a national identity and mission statement."

That's very good.

I saw this film at SIFF2016 and it screened to a packed house. People, including myself, loved it! Interesting side note - the first-time director, is a young, white man. My point is One Love, ya'all.

@2- I'm guessing most people reading this pretty much already knows the director is a white man, because of course he is. Not giving the white dude the director's chair would be the noteworthy occasion.
