THOSE PEOPLE: A Love Story

When Taylor, a 37-year-old black woman looking for love, falls for Mehran, a free-spirited Iranian Muslim man, she soon realizes that moving toward her happiness means stepping away from her family and community. Taylor is confronted with the problem: “What are you willing to risk for love?”

At its heart, THOSE PEOPLE: A Love Story challenges the notion that familiarity breeds contentment. Oftentimes it’s when we step out of our own worlds that we find the happiness we seek. Learn more about the project on Seed & Spark.
