Abstract:
An autobiographical film about a gay son's relationship with his devout Muslim father. Arshad Khan, the filmmaker and subject, examines how his father went from an open-minded man to a devout Muslim and breaks down the reasons for such a radical change in personality. Issues of psychological, sexual and physical abuse, and the pangs of rebirth through migration and through coming out, are laid bare using over 30 years of archival family footage that give a glimpse into an extraordinarily well documented family.
