The two soon strike up a bond of friendship.

These topics were thrown into the film in the same way left-leaning people toss words and platitudes into regular conversation to make themselves seem “with it” and well-rounded thinkers, while simultaneously avoiding any meaningful discussion or real-life engagement with the issues…” by Aditi Natasha Kini TheWeek.com – https://tinyurl.com/y9hl9oh6 But I don’t agree with…
