How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A formally inventive hybrid of documentary and drama that traces the unraveling legacy of a young playwright's raw, honest work and the intergenerational trauma within her own family. It's a haunting meditation on how art captures truth but cannot change the cycles of harm it documents.
