Join MOCH for a screening of Shadow People (2024, 8min) followed by a roundtable discussion focused on how the arts intersect with policy, advocacy, and university research in helping us better understand the human impact of migration.
Shadow People, directed by Memphian Aaron Baggett, is an intimate dialogue between a mother and son. Dorian, who lives in Memphis, longs to visit his ailing grandmother in Honduras. But his mother, Onyeda, fears his legal status will prevent his return to the U.S., risking their relationship and sacrifices made to reach this country.
