Josephine
Too young to understand. Too old to forget.
Directed by Beth de Araújo
Produced by Kaplan Morrison, Vibrato
A harrowing psychological drama about childhood trauma and its ripple effects on a family, told through the fractured perspective of a young witness to violence.
After eight-year-old Josephine accidentally witnesses a brutal assault in Golden Gate Park, she begins acting out violently to protect herself. This emotional trauma leads to conflicts between her parents as they search for justice, and a way to feel safe again.
