Race & Representation: A Rapprochement

This is an elaboration on the film that spoke to the intersection of subjective and objective shots in cinema.

Through the varying interactions of a white man, an Indian man, and a Black woman with a homeless man, the film explores how identity shapes public encounters. By blending subjective and objective perspectives, the film reveals deeper societal issues, particularly the safety and treatment of Black women, while showcasing how race and gender influence everyday experiences.
