MAHSA

Or The Girl That Ate Her Way Home

Join us for an outdoor screening of "Mahsa: Or The Girl That Ate Her Way Home".

Free and open to everyone.

Armed with a voracious curiosity, impulsive slant, and intrinsic ability to connect with others, Iranian immigrant Mahsa Darabi delves into her deep-seated longing to understand her heritage, reflects on the current civil unrest in her homeland, and then embarks on a journey to somehow find her way back to her roots in Iran through the common language of food. In doing so, she travels to Portland, Los Angeles, and Mexico to expose the beautiful and inherently connected mess that is humanity, through the truths of food and story. We find that despite the contrasts we've created through generations of drawing borders, forming traditions, and purveying beliefs, we are more alike than we are different. Mahsa works to unearth a better understanding for our place within this vast collective, and to spur a renewed social thirst for discourse.

62 minute runtime.

This event is free and open to the public.

Presented by SkyLit Designs, Rainier Beach Cultural State, MENA Heritage Month, and Bent Fig Media.
