Wild Sky (French: Le Ciel en bataille) is a 2011 French autobiographical documentary film and cinematic essay/poem directed by Rachid B. and co-written by Florent Mangeot.[1]

Plot

At his dying father's bedside; Rachid B. recalls his strongest memories from his childhood in Morocco to recollections of his homosexuality and rejection of Christianity, right up to his recent conversion to Islam.[2]

The film tells the story of his life, which he was never able to share with his father, and has been praised by critics as "a powerful exploration of desire and of ones own identity."[3]
