The Legacies Project

for Cinetopia Film Festival 

Everyone, regardless of their background, has a story worth sharing. The Legacies Project preserves the stories of previous generations and reminds us that our narrators are cherished sources of cultural wisdom and first-hand witnesses to history. Through this intergenerational experience students find new mentors and friends, relatives see new sides of their family members, and communities grow closer together.

Through each film, we hear stories of overcoming adversity, fighting for the greater good, living through hardships, and ultimately perseverance. We are inspired by the perseverance of our narrators displayed in their lives and the stories they have shared with us.
