To Live and Die and Live Is a Love Letter to the Layers We Carry
Set in the heart of Detroit and pulsing with raw emotion, To Live and Die and Live is more than a film, it’s a deeply personal exploration of grief, legacy, and emotional transformation. Directed, written, and produced by filmmaker Qasim Basir and creative force Samantha Basir Tanner (producer), the story follows Muhammad, a successful Hollywood director who returns to his hometown after the death of his stepfather. But this homecoming becomes a mirror, reflecting the unfinished business, both literal and emotional, he must face.
