Young people deserve to see themselves, their stories, and their futures reflected on screen.
Our Youth Engagement programs create opportunities for young people to experience Queer film, connect with community, and explore their own creativity—from Youth Day’s film screenings, panels, and activities to year-round access through The Library.

Despite feeling powerless, Iman tries to maintain his role as the family patriarch. To increase their chances of asylum, he breaks a promise to his wife and joins the local wrestling club. As the rumors start to resurface, Iman’s fear and desperation begin to take a hold.
