In challenging times, southerners know empty words and wishes pale in comparison to meaningful action. In this collection of 8 short films, we encounter individuals in devastating cycles of environmental destruction, broken family dynamics, and oppressive systems which they meet with not only resilience, but active, compassionate resistance. With this block we hope to inspire our audience to do more than just keep holding on–even when it feels like all you can do is wait, keep holding hope, keep holding each other, and keep holding others accountable. 

Filmmakers from the films will participate in a Q&A after the films.
