When we sit down to watch a film, we do so with a degree of trust that what we’re about to see will be true within the world of the film. So when a filmmaker decides to tell their story from the perspective of an unreliable narrator, as Christopher Nolan does in 2000’s Memento, we are forced to reassess and search for new meaning.

“I tend to think of myself as being connected to issues, and I care deeply about a range of issues, but I had no idea that forced and child marriage was still happening in the United States.”

This year, however, on my way into the screen to see Knots: A Forced Marriage Story, I was met by a friendly American woman handing out pieces of red thread.
