About This Movie
A Time to Swim offers this raw, intimate look at a man's dual identity—a family man in Montreal, yet a voice for the indigenous resistance back in Malaysia. Mutang's journey is both physical and emotional, returning to a village that's changed since his exile in '92. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the contrasting worlds he navigates. What stands out is the atmosphere, a mix of nostalgia and tension, as he confronts his past. The visuals are striking, with lush forests juxtaposed against urban landscapes. The documentary’s strength lies in its subtle storytelling and the performances of those in Mutang's life, which feel genuine and unvarnished.
