Description
The thought-provoking HOLD YOUR BREATH reveals the complexities of cross-cultural communication in the United States today through the dramatic journey of Mohammad Kochi, a refugee from war-torn Afghanistan struggling to cope with a stomach cancer diagnosis. An intensely religious man with a limited understanding of English, he navigates the colliding cultures of Islam and Western medicine. HOLD YOUR BREATH is a tale of confusion, mistrust and miscommunication, in which a man's fate is lost in translation. Through the intimate emotional experiences of the immigrant Kochi family and the well-intentioned efforts of the medical practitioners, HOLD YOUR BREATH illuminates the pivotal role of effective communication in one man’s battle with cancer.
