More than 180 people at the 7 15 show here tonight. They say the film is doing very well. Mostly a non-Muslim audience with a very intense and engaging discussion afterwards.
One comment-
"Your film is profound, complicated, layered, gentle and not angry. Thank you for making it."
Another one-
"Thank you so much for mediating this for the audience afterwards. Thank you for coming and talking to us-I dont think the experience of the film would be as rich if we did not have you talking to us later"
Lets now bring some Arabs, Muslims, Desis in tomorrow when there will be another Q&A.
