Diaspora: Identity and the Pathos of Global Labor
- SFUFF 2020 Events, Shorts
- 120 mins
Tidal forces of capitalist economy, war, and colonialism result in many dimensions of displacement. Cultures clash and merge, political economies reformulate into webs of interdependence stretching around the globe, and human beings are flung far from their places or origin. This program will explore diaspora through the lens of personal identity, within the context of a global labor market.
