I Still Breathe is a statement of hope for the world. Sometimes the most profound messages come from the voices that are unheard.


I Still Breathe captures first-hand testimonies from a group of Black, mixed race and white young adults living in London and sets them against visually stunningly choreographed performances. The testimonials were gathered in the wake of George Floyd's murder at the hands of racist police, and are part of the global shockwave that followed and made "Black Lives Matter" a universal call to action. Will this new generation see what the current custodians have achieved for good and ill, and come together to right the wrongs of the past?


West Coast Premiere!
