Becoming
2020, 16mm on 2K video, 11 min
As the US ramps up border enforcement during summer 2019, a formerly undocumented activist prepares for her naturalization test. In impressionistic scenes that link North Carolina with the Arizona borderlands, the film playfully interrogates the paradoxes of citizenship.
