Sometimes a journey doesn’t begin with setting out, but with a question. Driven by a feeling he can’t quite put his finger on, Amir returns to a place he calls home, even though he’s never lived there: Prishtinë. What does it feel like to belong? Surrounded by familiar faces, old paths, and new encounters, he quickly realizes that this question cannot be answered in this place.

The film begins with a belief: prostitution should disappear. It then turns to Yongjugol, a red-light district in Paju, where the closure of the area has sparked protests. Who are the people opposing its closure? Beyond familiar images of "crime scenes" and "brainwashed victims," Yongjugol is home to many different lives. Sex workers, activists, queer people, people living with mental illness, and other marginalized communities gather to declare that "life cannot be shut down." Even as they chant the same slogan, they remain strangers to one another. They resist easy definitions, and so do the relationships they form. As connections emerge, they develop their own strategies for protecting their lives from their respective positions. Their struggle invites us to reconsider the realities behind policies that seek to close red-light districts in the name of "women's rights."

The Bible. So What? aims to provoke and address the kinds of questions a spectator might have about the Bible, which, although frequently overlooked, has shaped the moral, legal and cultural foundation of the Western world for the past 1,600 years. I aim to challenge the postmodern relativist impulse to find new meanings as I try to reorient the spectator towards the ‘grand narrative’ of the Bible. By reading it themselves, viewers may discover a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, personal significance, direction and ultimate truth in the Christian gospel, a personally meaningful metanarrative grounded in history, tradition and revelation. Although I present a single perspective due to the time constraints of my brief, the counterargument to my film is already present, as misrepresentations of the Christian faith frequently obscure and corrupt public impressions of the Bible. Therefore, I want to draw the focus back to the Bible, what it says, and show that it is worth reading.
