The Leaked Message

Ibrahim Issa shared a message he received from a colleague who watched a pirated copy of the film:

"I have to tell you, I watched a stolen version of 'The Atheist' until I can enjoy it in the cinema. The film is amazing, but the person filming it had distorted audio and even sought forgiveness from God during some parts while stealing it."
