A documentary dance film directed by Lara Friedman-Kats. This film captures hidden stories, emotions, and snapshots into a person’s life. It is a way for individuals to be seen and heard, telling their unseen stories. By only looking at the surface of the individual, we fail to acknowledge the depth and impact of another human being standing right before us. In hopes to listen, understand, and speaking about the uncomfortable, I hope to educate myself and audiences on various identities while creating an equal platform for all voices to be heard, not just seen.
