A Lot Like You
What happens when a woman goes in search of her identity and discovers that the cycle of violence she's been working hard to break in the US is part of her history and culture on another continent? A Lot Like You raises questions about the cultures we inherit and choose to pass down, and reveals how simply bearing witness to another's suffering can break silences that have lasted lifetimes.
Working Films has teamed up with filmmaker Eli Kimaro to develop the A Lot Like You (ALLY) Campaign. Our goal is to create an interactive, collaborative campaign that facilitates personal exploration and supports personal storytelling in its myriad of forms.
"A Lot Like You takes us on a personal journey into the most vulnerable corners of a family history spanning generations and continents.
This layered documentary starts with a familiar exploration of mixed-race identity as the narrator searches for her roots, but brings the discussion to surprising levels of personal and political self-awareness.
Fresh and inspired, tender and uncommonly smart, A Lot Like You triumphs as an exemplary work of first-person documentary for the 21st century."
