We collaborated with Bay Area production company ANIVA to shoot and edit this short documentary about Kazani, a Samoan-American community organizer in the Bay Area, who recalls his journey finding affordable housing. Commissioned by the MacArthur Foundation and the Urban Institute to support their “Just Home” initiative for formerly incarcerated folks.
