Self-representation is about agency, power, healing, and a cultural corrective. When filmmakers of color tell their own stories, about sweeping historical events or intimate personal dramas, they are engaging in acts of narrative justice. This work is not just about intellectual curiosity, it is about centering the humanity of those who are otherwise rendered invisible, or unhuman. It is about countering narratives that allow our communities to be over-policed, over-incarcerated, deported, underfunded, undereducated and terrorized. Telling one’s own story is understood as an urgent cultural intervention.
