How it feels
A filmmaker looks back at growing up as a biracial woman of white and Haitian descent who was adopted and raised by a white family. Her parents gave her love, but they often struggled with the parts of her identity that were specifically Black. The documentary follows her attempt to make sense of that split between belonging and being seen.
