CONNECT ·2022 Grants ChallengeHeroes & Hope - A Celebration of Diversity
We are building a library of short films (3-5 minutes) that tell the stories of LA's immigrant and refugee population. One film representing someone from each country worldwide. The films will observe the rich cultural heritage of the subjects’ home country, while breaking down barriers & reframing the conversation around immigrant and refugee contributions to Los Angeles. We will build an understanding of how our differences create irreplaceable and positive richness through our urban landscape and enrich and enhance all of our lives daily.
