Know Your Place, dir. Zia Mohajerjasbi, USA 2022, 125 min., English & Tigrinya with English subtitles
Robel is just about keeping it together following the death of his father. He is tasked by his mother to deliver a suitcase full of medicine and money for a sick relative in Eritrea. When that goes awry, Robel is forced on a journey through the changing landscape of Seattle – the tightly knit Eritrean and Ethiopian communities, prejudiced police force and gentrifying white residents – to find his place, not just in his city but his own life.
Evoking the early work of Barry Jenkins and Adam Leon, but with a visual style that’s unique to Mohajerjasbi, Know Your Place is an evocative, fascinating and carefully constructed debut from a director to watch.
