Poverty and the Cycle of Violent Youth in 'City of God'
'City of God' depicts the cylindrical cycle of violence that is forced upon the underprivileged.

HOME IS WHERE I DIE is an experimental documentary told through two perspectives. The first follows a child directly affected by war, living among fear, loss, and the remains of a shattered home. The second follows a person physically distant from the conflict, yet psychologically overwhelmed by the suffering of children seen through images, stories, and memory. As empathy turns into empathetical distress, the emotional weight of distant violence begins to consume the mind, blurring the boundary between witness and victim. Through monochrome imagery, abstract visuals, and immersive soundscapes, the film explores how war continues to exist long after destruction within memory, imagination, and human consciousness.
