Black Perspectives Shorts: Growing Pains
Synopsis
In these shorts from across the diaspora, our protagonists are forced to mature in the face of difficult and uncomfortable truths. Featuring works by Laetitia Angba, Julie Redon Lissouba, Tevin Kimathi, Millan Tarus, Jean Gaspa, Natalie Jasmine Harris, Samuel Laine, Guilherme Gomes, and Julia Conatti.
A teenager grapples with the increasing likelihood of her father’s deportation in Lana (Canada). Stero (Kenya) puts us in the shoes of a young Kenyan boy as he embodies the traits of a badass hero. Go in Peace (Al nan la paix) (France) transports us to the crowded, sweaty waiting room of a Haitian consulate as tensions boil over. In Grace (United States), we take a trip to the American south of the 1950s, where a teenager grapples with guilt and her sexuality ahead of getting baptized. Free Lunch (United States) showcases the tragicomic events that take place when a child doesn’t have enough money to pay for his school lunch. Finally, we explore the ruminations of two twentysomethings from São Paulo in Trying (Estamos tentando) (Brazil).
