BORROWED PLUMES is an examination of what it feels like to incrementally and unwittingly surrender yourself to the cages of others’ expectations, cultural mandates, and institutional allegiances. It is inspired by a feeling of loss – a loss of pride in our roots, in our truth, and in our deeply personal stories shaped in the pursuit of success, dignity, and belonging.
The film hopes to inspire self-acceptance – an acceptance that ultimately empowers you to write your own future: one that uniquely balances roots and traditions with the chapters of your journey, both those being forged in the present and those yet to come, of your own design and shaping.
