@JojoSilla and Co-Writer and Director @KatungAduwak , conceived and created this short film about a year go almost pre-empting the current state of things. This work could not be more timely. As we talk through and reassess what it means to truly unite as black peoples, it is important that ALL BlACK PEOPLES critically look at the roles we play in handling and dealing with one another. One thing we are learning is that in order for us to win we must all see the humanity in each other. Check Out Not Supposed To Here and make be sure to live a review.
