Hard Truths 2024
I don’t understand you but I love you.
Hard Truths is a quiet unraveling of a woman burdened by sorrow, a woman who, in her ache, sends it outward, pressing it into the world around her. I have seen this kind of grief before, the way it sharpens the voice, stiffens the shoulders, turns love into something edged and difficult.

The film is a sobering reminder that colonialism did not end it merely evolved.
