A Timely and Beautiful Film
This film is critical to the world in this moment. Eschewing the "easy" (and often divisive) paths to explain the most complicated questions in our world today, "Holding Liat" forces the audience to sit in the nuance, tensions, and multiple lenses to the conflict. It does not paint a picture of heroes and villains, but just the emotions -- notably love and compassion -- that power our lives.
I left wishing everyone commenting on the Middle East would watch this film instead of fanning unhelpful flames in places like social media. The family profiled has stayed with me for weeks since seeing the film. I am grateful for it.
