CGiii Comment

Unfortunately, it's a film that doesn't accomplish what it set out to do.

Matt Mahmood-Ogston asks a powerful question...and then, for some unknown reason, forgets about it.

The result is...mini personal histories of Asian/Muslim LGBT folks. Nothing we haven't heard before.

Shame...it could have been a mightily important film.
