Identity examines the immigrant crisis through the story of a teenager who has lost half her family. An exploitative white Muslim is taking money off immigrants and leaving them to die at the same time, interpreting the Koran rather over-enthusiastically. (Well, I don't know anything, and I think there are probably different versions of the Koran, but I personally think the one most decent Muslims believe in doesn't actually tell you to kill 'non-believers'.)
Meanwhile in a massively stingy irony, a people smuggler who actually tries to help an even younger immigrant is slain by one of her own family. Biblical! Maybe that's what they were going for. 'They'? I mean of course Timothy Prager, who treads delicately through this material (though rather solemnly).
Knew none of the (largely good) cast. Sofia Asir, Gerald Kyd, Nathacha Karam, Elham Ehsas, Billy Cook.
