How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply moving meditation on displacement and the price of reinvention, following a Sudanese boy who assumes a false Jewish identity to escape famine and must navigate the chasm between survival and authenticity. It's a slow, emotionally taxing journey across continents and decades that grapples with whether you can ever truly become who you pretend to be.
