Demarcation Lives
Demarcation is a departure from the televised trauma porn that highlights black death as a means to evoke empathy from the privileged. This movie illustrates that love, pain, and death doesn't need to embody black americans. The stories can revolve around a race of aliens, zombies or monsters and use this parallel universe as a mirror to reality. Demarcation takes the present complex psychological and ancestral trauma and uses uncomfortability as an agent to trigger every viewer equally. Drawing comparisons from the theory of economic, social and racial intersections, Demarcation utilizes create power structures with each vignette. At times mirror oppression and injustice that is unfortunately a large part of my existence. The emotional scars created through black people’s lived experience create unrelenting agony. This film taps into a digestible variation of this torment.
