The COVID-19 lockdown era was, in some ways, defined by isolation but also by the power of community – particularly with the rise of racial justice protests after the 2020 police killing of George Floyd.
Austin-based filmmaker PJ Raval weaves in both themes as examines the most turbulent issues of the era through the self-documented stories of three young Filipinas in “Who We Become.”
Raval spoke with the Standard about why he made the film and what he hopes audiences will take away.
“Who We Become” is currently streaming on Netflix.
