About This Movie

Like Salt is this raw, atmospheric piece that dives deep into two worlds colliding. The film captures Hala, an Arab American boxer, and Kendrick, an African American jazz musician, both navigating the grit of New York City. The pacing has a nice rhythm, mirroring the improvisational style of jazz and boxing. It’s not just about the sport or the music, but how these characters adapt amidst a backdrop of social tension. The performances feel authentic, almost like you’re peering into their lives rather than just watching a story unfold. And the way it blends these two art forms—the resilience in the ring and the soul in the music—creates a unique vibe that lingers long after the credits.

Explores themes of resilience and adaptability.Unique blend of boxing and jazz as art forms.Authentic performances that feel personal.
