Description

A grieving single mother uses music to promote peace and power. Singing throughout, she uses lyrics in place of dialogue, drawing from her lived experience to confront injustice and trauma. Performing personal history as protest song, and singing memory into immortality, Unheard will make you listen closer to a refrain of pain that's repeated far too often. Angie Driscoll
