Stellar debut. I was lucky to see a Q&A with Merawi Gerima after! I think this being “rough around the edges” adds to the emotional quality of it.

A gripping depiction of longing for a home that no longer exists and longing for people that are no longer there. All in the midst of things rapidly changing around you. 

How come I don’t feel welcome in my home?

Franz Fanon once said “intelligence has never saved anyone” well in this case, I don’t think art has either.
