Harlem Fragments is an Afro-futurist scrapbook storytelling of a Harlem Black family's beautiful destruction during the 2008 recession. A natural disaster so mesmerizing you can't look away from the tragedy. Based on true events-  The film explores the haunting societal pressures of achieving the Black American dream, told in the POV of 10 year old TJ revisiting his family's home that's up for sale. By empowering this Black boy in this film with the agency to imagine, TJ, through his own journey, finds a way to process and come to terms with his family's divorce. It's important for every Black child out there enduring the same foreign emotions to know that it's okay to feel them, and affirm that there is a future trajectory forward out of the initial destruction.

HARLEM FRAGMENTS

From the director: The idea for this short began when I came across a photo of an Asylum seeker who was suffering from a skin infection caused by some mould at his direct provision centre during the pandemic lockdown in 2020.At a very uncertain period, this young man found himself deprived of medical attention and a transfer to a new centre. As an immigrant myself, I became outraged and curious as tohow this was even possible. So, the image of that young man’s grossly infected skin became my talisman for this short film.Similar to most Asylum seekers, our protagonist, Ikenna, is living in a new country where the language, culture and race are vastly different from his. Not really knowing where you belongor how you fit in is a reality I and many immigrants can strongly relate to. With no parental figure, Ikenna’s only support system is his brother who is a lot older than him. These factors inaddition to the living conditions at his direct provision centre only elevate Ikenna’s social exclusion and desire for validation. As such, exploring the political as well as the psychological aspect of such struggles through the point of view of a thirteen-year-old asylum seeker becomes necessary. I want to push contemporary audiences to go on this nightmarish reality with young Ikenna, in order to engage with an underrepresented protagonist and gain new perspectives. My goal for this film is to address real societal issues in a creative genre style that is rarely seen on our screens.
