Band of Exile (2023)
Here in Toronto, four young Somali refugees are finishing high school. What did they bring with them? What did they find in Canada? Their testimonies, about us and about themselves, interspersed with newsreel footage and sequences of a theatrical creation in which they put all their soul, make them immediately endearing and overturn many prejudices held against refugees. A film that makes you want to get to know them better.

Just perfect...
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
