a short film written & directed by Juli Del Prete
“Del Prete’s hand in this film is subtle and quietly powerful. In what appears as a one-take, we are made to sit with Caroline’s experience in real time as we tense our bodies […] the impact of Caroline is not in its pain or plight, but in its empathy and care for the character, and culture of the oppressed that it portrays. It’s a film born of love, dignity, integrity, and the spirit of support for marginalized genders, who trek uphill trails to opportunities they deserve whilst fighting powers who so often think only of themselves.” – Cinema Femme Magazine
