Life is filled with both grief and opportunities to change. Expectations weigh heavily, especially from parents. Navigating spaces and relationships can lead to more questions than answers. Each of these shorts takes a unique path to investigating the experience of living as your true self, even when things get hard. Watch as everyday people struggle to break away from family to join a rap session on the subway, maintain their true identity, live with grief for lost daughters, and smash gender norms through a game of basketball.
Based on the book I Want to Undie You by Jaki Shelton-Green, poet laureate of North Carolina, this short film honors women who have passed away and the grief their mothers carry.
