The Poetry of Testimony: Letters2Maybe Showing at the Spring 2022 New Jersey Film Festival on February 6

by Hannah Vliet
published 2022-02-03

People of varying ages, genders, and ethnicities speak about their experiences, trying to give shape to difficult questions: What does it mean to no longer have access to your homeland? What is the process of becoming disillusioned with the American Dream?  How can community serve as support, solace, and strength in the face of injustice?
