HOMEGROWN: A Part Of/Apart From – the first documentary short film series to bring together the voices and visions of filmmakers and communities from the U.S. Territories and Hawai‘i to reflect on their relationship with the mainland U.S. – is now available to stream in full from PBS.
Each film in the series explores issues of cultural identity, sovereignty, and agency, as local residents and members of the diaspora grapple with what it means to be “a part of and apart from” the mainland.
The series is presented by Firelight Media, Pacific Islanders in Communications, Black Public Media, Latino Public Broadcasting, and PBS, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
