The Watermelon Woman - Who Are We Forgetting?

The moving picture is a miraculous invention. It has the potential to show a human being as they lived, long after their death. It’s the closest thing we have to immortality. However, we don’t think enough about who gets to live forever.
It’s not about awards. It’s not about quality, about prestige, about box office, or about how much a piece pushes the medium. Sometimes it’s just about who’s being shown. Whose story gets to be told. Because we’ll never know what we’ve already forgotten.
A special thanks to Jourdain Searles, without whom I couldn't even attempt to do this film justice.
