Monica Sorelle’s feature film debut is a moving character study set in the neighbourhood of Little Haiti in Miami. While looking for a new home for his family, Xavier, a Haitian demolition worker is faced with the realities of redevelopment as he is tasked with dismantling his rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood. “The film asks you to take care of that knowledge, take care of your community, take care of the people that are being affected in these ways, and be mindful of how you show up.” (Monica Sorelle) (kw)
