Due to film festivals not opening until 2022, the movie is brought directly to audiences. The film is available for rental on vimeo.com/ondemand/elietahari for 30 days only. Afterward, the film will be reserved for the film festival circuit for at least another season. "I want Elie Tahari's life to travel in everyone's heart," said director-producer David Serero.
