Synopsis
Things With Feathers is a short narrative that challenges the cultural silence to sexual assault Black women have created as a coping method. Through the eyes of Aaliyah, we experience the struggle one girl faces to keep the family together before worrying about her well being, to deal with her spiritual healing over her mental and physical, to aspire to cope, and to fight to find hope.
