Netflix: My Name is Khan

Netflix: My Name is Khan
I vote this best movie I've seen this past year.. worth watching... a moving piece exploring race and religious conflicts and hatred versus love.
My Name is Khan - 2010 PG-13 161 minutes

Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh Khan), a Muslim man with Asperger syndrome, lives happily with his wife, Mandira (Kajol), in San Francisco until a tragedy drives her away after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Now he is on a quest to recapture the heart of the woman he loves. Traveling across America, Rizwan faces prejudice because of his religion and unusual behavior, but he also inspires the people he meets with his unique outlook on life.

Available via Netflix DVD or streaming. Get the DVD and turn on sub-titles for best comprehension

My new favorite quote: Robert Pirsig's statement in Lila "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."
