LOOTED produced, edited, and directed by Chris P Robinson @turbocrob
This is the story of Gary, Indiana, a city that has been looted by
America, Lake County & even its own citizens.
Sidelots directed by Atieno NyaR Kasagam is a love story of Black land reclamation told in ritual between Detroit, Alabama and Kenya. It follows one family on Detroit’s East Side as their story of urban farming unfolds into a spiritual journey of discovery, loss and re-indigenization. By digging up familial and land roots across the diaspora, Sidelots illuminates all that is sacred in the land and encourages a radical reconsideration of how we view the earth immediately below our feet.

Crystle C. Roberson @ccroberson_directs
