For Venida, For Kalief

Kalief Browder’s everlasting legacy expands via the poetry of his mother, Venida in an unfolding poetic journey between past, present, and future. FOR VENIDA, FOR KALIEF weaves a cinematic collage of verité, poetic visuals, and rare archival imagery from 1970s New York, and reveals how an individual’s life—and afterlife—can transcend systemic oppression to ignite change once thought unattainable.
