Palama: Do You See Me? (2025)
A heartfelt exploration of plurality and diversity, this documentary centers on those labeled as “other” by society—those who don’t conform to mainstream norms or the majority’s expectations. Rooted in the belief that true acceptance requires embracing difference, it tells the stories of marginalized voices navigating a world that often excludes them. Created by the teachers and students collective NASYM, the feature weaves a fresh, humanistic narrative that celebrates individuality, connection, and the courage to exist authentically in the face of societal pressures. Through its intimate storytelling, the film invites reflection on belonging, empathy, and the power of recognizing the “other” as part of the shared human experience.
Director: Asha Achy Joseph
