How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, unflinching portrait of an artist's life torn between two countries and destroyed by intolerance. Watching feels like bearing witness to both the beauty of creative spirit and the crushing weight of state violence against those who refuse to disappear.
