Description

After an emotional day with her family, Gema Walker comes home to face meeting her fiancé’s parents for the first time.

Director's Bio

Born and raised in the Bahamas, Kenrick Prince, now an American political asylee, is living proof that being misunderstood can lead one to discover their identity, art and purpose. His worldview and unique perspective have made him a storyteller whose work provokes thought, sheds light and brings viewers into unexplored worlds.
