U.S. Online Premiere - Join Us (Newsletter)

Join FROM HERE's Online Premiere!

We are so excited to announce that our film FROM HERE (formerly With Wings and Roots) will have it’s online premiere June 11-20th at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival - New York.

While we will miss  being with you in person, we are thrilled that people outside of New York City can now join us and view the festival's powerful lineup of films. If you are anywhere in the U.S., you can participate  and choose between English subtitles, captions or Spanish subtitles. We hope to share  more languages soon!

I have to be honest, it is difficult to “celebrate” a premiere in the midst of this devastation. The most marginalized communities and caregivers are bearing the brunt of this pandemic with their lives. We need bold visions, movements, policy and cultural interventions, and brave ways of living to create pathways out of this nightmare.

It is my sincere intent that the stories of resistance and creativity featured in FROM HERE will support our work together.

Please help us spread word about the premiere! More than numbers, we would love to share the film with people who are working on these issues or struggling with similar questions. Could you reach out to 2 or 3 people with whom you think the film may resonate? We've provided some ideas for language for social media below, and a link to our new trailer.

We continue to be grateful to all of the incredible people who have supported this epic filmmaking and community-building journey.

With love, gratitude, and solidarity, Christina Antonakos-Wallace& the From Here team Seattle, New York, Berlin and beyond
