Facing Mecca (2017)
7/10
Practical But Creative
16 December 2021
The warm relationship between Roli and Fareed is rather unusual as they come from different faiths and cultures. Roli totally respects Fareed's religion and its beliefs and rituals. That he thought of a creative way to satisfy the precepts of Fareed's religion is something that the viewer identifies with. But will the local council object if it did find out what Roli did to settle the impasse?

What I couldn't understand though, which the short film missed to explain, is the ending. Why did Fareed do what he did? Was it necessary?

It may be a short film but it's heartwarming and enlightening. The main actors do well in portraying their respective characters. Nothing overly dramatic but it drives home an important point in the short time it has to do it.
