Summer (Renee) is a carefree, 17-year-old black girl who finds herself navigating complex questions of faith, family, sexuality, and identity when her mother (Missick) converts to Islam. Drawing on her own experiences growing up, director Nijla Mu'min fashions a bittersweet, beautifully observed portrait of a young woman finding her way in the world that offers a multi-dimensional image of Muslim life rarely depicted on screen. Winner: Special Jury Prize for Screenwriting at SXSW 2018.
