definition - Aya de Leon

definition: Aya de Leon looks at the process of Bay area spoken word artist Aya de Leon, whose work is at all times political and certainly fresh. Whether dissecting images of women in hip hop, or exposing the constructs of gender and beauty, Aya de Leon makes you think, makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you listen. This documentary explores the writer/poet/activist's artistic process, and the lives she touches as she moves through the world.

The Kiss

The Kiss is the story of Wilfred Funai, a quiet, unassuming office worker whose defence from the hostile treatment from co-workers is to hide inside a small, regimented world. One day, he witnesses an event where he will either remain isolated or respond to a crisis, perhaps even at risk to himself. Either choice will change his life forever.
