Review of Stand

Stand (2023)
9/10
A must-watch for African-American Youth
8 February 2023
This doc is about Mahmoud Abdul Rauf; the Steph Curry of the 90's. How he came out of his poor circumstances with hard work & dedication, his struggle with Tourette syndrome and most importantly his battle with xenophobia and racism in the US. A very fitting name for this doc b/c he literally took a STAND against all this to protect what he believes in even though this would mean he would lose fame, lots of money and recognition. Glad that Joslyn Rose Lyons finally got his story out to shed light to another dark part of US history. Mahmoud not compromising his faith no matter the consequences is something we all can learn from in current political/social climate.
