Who knew there was a space program in Lebanon? A fascinating subject presented through an overtly introspective storyline. This may be a discouraging factor for some but I did quite enjoy it, and the speculations offered by the authors were warranted. If given the opportunity, the Western world would continue ignoring such themes, which is disheartening. So here’s to more postcolonial science documentaries and sci-fi.
