EXIST is a compelling documentary that immerses you in the life of Aram Sabbah, a Palestinian skateboarder navigating the turmoil of his homeland while preparing for Olympic qualifications in Dubai. The film is raw and heartfelt, capturing the essence of his struggle—not just with skateboarding but with identity and displacement. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of deep introspection alongside dynamic skate sequences that showcase Aram's passion. The stark contrast between the vibrant skate culture and the backdrop of war adds layers to the narrative. It’s less about triumph and more about resilience, making it distinctive in its approach to the personal versus the political. Aram's journey, both physically and emotionally, is genuinely moving.
