The Present shows the daily abuse and indignity faced by Palestinian people under the apartheid system. A man and his young daughter go shopping for a gift for his wife.
Content Notes: Netflix classifies this as TV-MA but I’m honestly not sure why as it only lists “language” as a reason for the rating. I did watch this entire film and I don’t remember hearing much (any) swearing, but swearing also doesn’t bother me so…watch with kids at your own risk. No graphic violence. Subtitles.
