At #TIFF, our Editor-in-Chief @sahra_m3 spoke with director Bassam Tariq @curry_crayola about his new film Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, the importance of the Hadith in Islamic culture, and what it meant to have it as the heart of the story.
Tariq spoke about the importance of intention, working alongside two-time Academy Award winner @mahershalaali and the creative connection they shared during the film.
He also shared what he hopes audiences take away from the film — having faith through difficult times, the realities of parenthood, and wanting the best for your children.
His message? Keep going and keep showing up.
