This film explores the prevalence of identity crisis in immigrant communities today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is nothing worst then feeling invisible, and \u2018Tell Me About It\u2019 is a film for the invisible audience, anyone experiencing an identity crisis or who would \u2018prefer not to say\u2019 when asked about themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have talked about collective diversity, what we really need right now is a conversation about embracing the diversity of individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this film we see a Muslim family and community, who are often misrepresented and seen as extreme characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheir religion is usually what defines them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut we of course know that people are not one dimensional.
