A Sinner in Mecca (2015)
Mesmerizing
Just finished watching this. You get used to the grainy, hand-held camera after awhile and become totally absorbed into a story that has never been told before. The film, for me, opened doors into a secret world that I never thought I could enter. I felt like I was there with him in Mecca. Not only is this guy brave, he is also a great filmmaker. He successfully creates a story line including his very personal life into a film that could have ended up being a travelogue. This film is not a travelogue. You will be mesmerized. Even my teenage daughter was. Central to it, is a search of the spirit and it does something I like in movies, which is the ending does not answer all your questions. Its an open ending to a film that is anything but traditional.
