Our take
Announcing the arrival of a major new voice in nonfiction filmmaking, Zeshawn Ali’s debut is a vibrant portrait of community and faith. Beautifully composed in black and white, Two Gods renders its subjects with great intimacy to create an invaluable document of the Muslim American experience.
