Short Film #2:

“People’s Kitchen Collective”

You can’t fight for justice, equity and freedom on an empty stomach. The co-founders of People’s Kitchen Collective (PKC), Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik, Jocelyn Jackson and Saqib Keval, believe in the power of conversation and community over shared meals—and the necessity of bridging racial, religious and generational divides to build solidarity.

Short Film #3:

“Futbolistas 4 Life”

This documentary takes you into the lives of two high schoolers: One is a DACA applicant who’s navigating the reality of his immigration status, and the other was born in California, but lives in fear that her undocumented parents may be deported. These youth take solace in the game of soccer that lets them, if only for a moment, put their worries on the sidelines.
