Spanning more than ten years, this stirring, deeply felt short alights on the seemingly small yet formative moments that shape Hamed, a young Afghan Canadian man, as he navigates both his queer and Muslim identities, conscious always of the shadow his father casts over his life. Taking its title from an artwork by David Wojnarowicz, ONE DAY THIS KID poignantly captures the silent struggle and unspoken tensions that define the queer coming-of-age experience.
