Of God’s Men
+ Q&A with director Waheed Iqbal
Two brothers, forced to live together but poles apart in their worldviews, attempt to find common ground, in this heartfelt drama.
After cutting short an attempt at suicide, Saif turns to religion to fill the emptiness he feels in his life. Given his state of mind and to avoid relapsing, he is told he must be in the presence of a carer and so moves in with his troublesome brother, Ameen. Constantly in each other’s company, the two men’s conflicting views and goals quickly escalate, forcing each to confront themselves in ways that challenge both their worldviews. Iqbal’s film is a fascinating contemporary portrait of masculinity, faith and the nature of values in a rapidly changing world.
