Willie’s Letter

返回 Download

Set against a southern landscape, “Willie’s Letter” tells a parallel story of sacrifice and resurrection across two generations. A depressed father contemplates life while attempting to hold on to his son. A PTSD-diagnosed son embarks on a journey to revisit the place of his father’s demise and makes an unexpected discovery. The film is inspired, in part, by the propaganda piece “The Willie Lynch Letter, 1712.” The letter discusses the generational trauma of slave descendants and the separation of black families – dynamics which are embedded in this film’s father-son relationship.
