STILL HERE: A Film Screening & Community Conversation

Join us for a screening of Still Here (2022), followed by a discussion and Q&A in GRAM’s auditorium. Directed, written, filmed, and edited by Michigan-born Mariah Barrera, this deeply personal documentary follows a Latino family in the Midwest and three brothers whose lives have been shaped by violence, poverty, incarceration, and decades of separation. 

Through intimate first-person recollections, the Barrera brothers revisit the childhood experiences that have shaped their lives. At its heart, Still Here is not simply a story of hardship. It is a story of family, resilience, and the enduring love that kept three brothers connected despite years apart. Told through the eyes of a daughter and niece, the film offers a powerful portrait of a family navigating the lasting effects of incarceration while holding onto the bonds that unite them. 

Arrive early to explore a trio of exhibitions that reveal how creativity can foster resilience, preserve dignity, and advocate for people across the American justice system.

This event is included with admission. Registration is required.
