Dear Mom

YEAR

CONTENT WARNING: The film contains images of drowning and covers material that could be triggering to those with family abuse trauma and or trauma related to filicide. While potentially emotionally intense, over the course of the event we'll share how trauma can sometimes be healed, and guide participants through a trauma sensitive letter writing practice. Care has gone into making sure that Dear Mom is well modulated and thoughtful, and we encourage all participants to care for themselves with compassionate attention throughout the event and afterwards.   

Dear Mom is a visceral and touching movement film inspired by the sometimes painful love of a parent not understanding their queer child. The film begins with the themes of misunderstanding and subjugation, moves to rebellion and conflict, and ends with healing and understanding.
