How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sprawling, intense historical drama that uses brutal colonial oppression and the resulting violence as a lens for examining faith, loyalty, and the fracturing of identity under state coercion. Nearly five hours of mounting tension that doesn't shy away from the human cost of religious conversion imposed by force.
