ABOUT THE FILM
Origins: Lost at Sea director Lady Scribe shares personal experiences of growing up Black in Seattle and the impacts of gentrification on the Central District. As displacement is an unfortunate reality for many Black residents in Seattle, community members provide glimpses into the challenges faced by marginalized communities in the city past and present. Through conversations with artists, business owners and community leaders, we learn how Black Seattle residents rise above challenges and refuse to be driven out of the city.
