I am one of four children of immigrants featured in the feature-length documentary film FROM HERE, directed by Christina Antonakos-Wallace. Set in Berlin and New York, FROM HERE is a hopeful story of four young artists and activists from immigrant families redefining belonging in an era of rising nationalism globally. The film documents over 10 years of my life as a musician and activist, and I’m excited to report that is will be premiering in June at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival- digital edition. (The film was supposed to premier in person at the HRW Film Festival in London in March, which was canceled due to COVID).
While it is sad that the film cannot have an in-person festival premier, the good news is anyone in the United States can join for the digital premier and watch it from June 11-20th. Tickets for the online festival are available now ($9), and the director and I will be participating in a discussion and Q&A on June 14th at 8pm EST. Sign up and buy your tickets here! The trailer for the film is below:
