Heartbreak

Conceived and produced in response to the call for the inaugural #TIFFxInstagram Shorts Festival, HEARTBREAK is a poetic moment paused for Black motherhood, for Black bodies and Black resilience. The 60 second film is a tribute to black women and the difficulty of raising Black children (particularly boys) in our society. The idea for the film sprung from the filmmaker’s despair at the shooting of black men and the chaos that ensued during the week the short film competition was announced.
