The Yonkers Film Festival 2022 In Review
A summary of the films featured in this annual event taking place in Westchester.

The sole Asian teen in a redneck town learns his father was a Triad legend and seeks his legacy in the criminal underworld of the big city — only to face a brutal choice between power and his soul in a world more savage and strange than anything he could have imagined.
A summary of the films featured in this annual event taking place in Westchester.
Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype. These are real portraits painted by a director with lived experience, cultural connection and an amazing eye for visuals.
Two movies that do a fantastic job in conveying the ongoing struggle for racial justice are Selma (2014) and Just Mercy (2019).
The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.
After years of silence, trauma, and backlash, Rose McGowan tells her own story in this miniseries.
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
