This contemplative block of five short films is about honoring the kinds of work, bravery, and sacrifice that often go overlooked and unseen. In these films, a nonprofit organization works tirelessly to locate, exhume, and identify the remains of undocumented immigrants who have died crossing the border; a Mexican immigrant nanny struggles to say goodbye to the child she has helped raise and find a new job; and a Durham artist advocates for and uplifts his community through dance. Through these stories you will gain an intimate insight into the lives and labors of some of our most selfless Southerners as they work to enrich and improve the people and spaces around them.
