Our short film “Finding Us” has won the 2023 Reel South of North Carolina PBS award at the 12th Annual Richmond International Film Festival. The festival included 195 Official Selection films; from more than 20 countries plus 35 live music acts throughout the week.
Film Synopsis: Georgetown University sold hundreds of enslaved people to stave off bankruptcy, scattering families across the South, never to see each other again. With the help of DNA databases, their descendants are reconnecting six generations later. “Finding Us” is a portrait of four descendants who are using their unique talents to regrow the family trees felled nearly two centuries ago.
Our region’s newest film festival DC/DOX will screen “Finding Us” at 5:30pm on Friday, June 16th at Eaton Cinema in D.C. The film will screen in the DC/FRAME: Lost & Found section of the festival, highlighting local stories exploring the profound impact of losing one’s home.
