TIME FOR ILHAN is a fascinating glimpse into grassroots politics. It follows Ilhan Omar during her 2016 Minnesota campaign, and you really get a feel for the grit and determination of her team. The pacing, at times frenetic, mirrors the chaos of election season, capturing both tension and hope. There's a raw authenticity to the documentary, with practical effects of real-life campaigning—no staged moments here. Omar's presence is compelling; she embodies the struggles of representation as a Somali-American woman fighting against long odds. The atmosphere is charged, mixing moments of levity with the weight of what’s at stake. It’s an interesting study on identity, perseverance, and the messy process of democracy that sticks with you.
