The Big Sick movie. Interesting clips about family rejection based on religious and cultural differences!
by stuckinarut2 inif anyone has not yet watched the fantastic 2017 movie "the big sick", i would highly recommend it!.
without giving too much away, there are two scenes in it that we as ex jws will relate to.. the first scene shows the main character being chastised and rejected by his parents for not following their religious and cultural expectations and marrying a muslim girl.
the parents effectively "disfellowship" him from their family!
