About the Film
Set in Berlin and New York, From Here interweaves the stories
of Tania, Miman, Sonny, and Akim—artists and activists raised in the
Global North to parents from the Global South. The film accompanies them
as they move from their 20’s into their 30’s, facing major turning
points: fighting for citizenship, creating a family, surviving violence,
and finding creative expression. Beautifully shot over the course of
ten years, the film captures their struggle to define belonging for
themselves in societies increasingly hostile to their existence.
