One Day This Kid

One day this kid will reach a point where he senses a division that isn’t mathematical.

As told by filmmaker Alexander Farah through a deftly composed array of small yet pivotal moments, a first-generation Afghan Canadian man takes steps toward establishing an identity of his own while always conscious of his father's shadow.
