00:00You ever think about how random life is?

00:09Of all the people, why were you born to your parents?

00:12Of all the places, why were you born in your country, in your city?

00:17My girlfriend and I, our parents came to Toronto in the 60s, a new country, a new life.

00:23Why would someone work so hard to come to a new world, just to keep on living in the old one?

00:30I took a job in Detroit. I'll be moving there in two weeks.

00:34You take too much pride in your work.

00:35Yeah, well someone has to.

00:37Didn't I have to say in this?

00:39Look, I had to take it. I'll be setting the standard for transplant care for the next ten years.

00:43Do you always work this late, or are you just trying to make a good impression?

00:46If we can get this guy to fund our research, we'll have the best transplant program in the world.

00:50And the board would have no choice but to name a new chief.

00:53Can I ask you a stupid question?

00:55What do I look like under this thing?

00:56My father would say that our hair grows for a reason.

00:59We may not know what that reason is, but we should trust in God's plans.

01:02So you've never cut it?

01:04No.

01:08Come on, at least be honest with me.

01:10Will the board accept a guy with a turban as the face of the program?

01:12Sometimes it's about the bigger picture.

01:17We keep our hair because it is an article of faith to announce to the world

01:21I have chosen to live by certain values, and I will stand by them, even if I have to give up my life.

01:30Why did you do this? It's been a part of you your whole life.

01:33I'm not here to make a statement. I'm here to help people.

01:37I'm dying, correct?

01:39Transplant's your only option.

01:40And if I can't pay for it?

01:42You won't even get on the list.

01:43You have got to learn to bend a little.

01:45You don't think I've learned that?

01:46Ever since you've been in Detroit, things have been different.

01:48I don't know if you met somebody else.

01:50It's nothing like that.

01:54You have no idea about our relationship.

01:55You know what? You're right. I don't.

01:56In the real world, you have to make compromises.

01:58These are the things you have to do in the real world.

02:09I don't fear death. I fear the death of my conscience.

02:20I don't fear the death of my conscience.
