Days After Your Departure

Everything about this film screams human. The candor with which Joekenneth speaks in regards to his journey following the death of his mom is so raw and exposed that it makes you feel incredibly connected as you watch. You realize you're not alone, no matter what your process looks like. The script and cinematography are so beautiful that I felt like it takes this very ugly thing we all experience and makes it a true work of art. Also, really makes you want to actually read the book Days After Your Departure.

I heard about this film after friend of mine told me about Joekenneth's work. The storytelling is unlike anything I've seen previously. Rooted in poetry, the visuals accompany and even elevate the narrative of the film. It's raw, moving, beautiful, but above all it's a story that all can relate to. Once you've seen it, you'll want to watch it over and over again.

Thank-you for sharing your story with us. Beautiful spoken & shot.

A stunning poem/essay about changes that take place with the loss of ones mother. Beautifully directed and shot in NYC annd Haiti. I happened to stumble across this on HBO - a happy accident.

A beautifully shot, but strange short story about the reemergence of a son following his mother's death.
