The stories and experiences of refugee communities are vast and diverse. In this shorts program, watch as filmmakers explore and highlight the experiences, stories, and lasting legacies of refugee communities. From their experiences building their own small businesses and community within the United States, to the second-generation young adults redefining their own relationship to America, these films capture the complexities, histories, healing, and pain of refugee communities and the futures that they have helped pave the way for.
Co-presented by Kin On
A family’s remembrance of a loved one lost to police violence two years ago, After Images is a collective portrait of Channara Tom “Philly” Pheap. Holding Philly’s memory in both life and death, After Images is composed of intimate moments of care and chronicles the search for accountability in a system where there is none – in the process becoming a testament to the powerful potential a community can find within each other as they continue fighting with love, support, and resistance. The film hopes to build national media attention and pressure on Knoxville, Tennessee in anticipation of the Pheap family’s civil lawsuit in July 2022, and organizers work with families to continue building community safety and accountability on the ground.
