One Day This Kid

Directed by Alexander Farah

A young Afghan-Canadian boy, who under the weight of his father's expectations, confronts fear, desire and shame, in search of a self unknown.
One Day This Kid understands that shame is often built from tiny moments rather than one dramatic rejection. Alexander Farah follows Hamed from Afghan-Canadian childhood into adulthood, showing how a father’s comments lodge themselves inside a son long after the words are spoken. The gay short film is precise rather than showy, and Massey Ahmar gives the adult Hamed a guardedness that makes the final emotional release hit hard.
