Being

About

During his monthly therapy session, our protagonist, unnamed like many of his kind, recounts and relives a terrifyingly traumatic moment in his life. After many silent sessions, he finally opens up about a moment in his life that has helped shape his worldview: an encounter he had with the police on his way back to his college campus.

This screening is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
