In 2023, filmmaker Emanuel Ramirez released the award winning film Same Page. In the midst of that triumph we follow Emanuel and how the premieres of the film came together. This trajectory was met with bigger questions based on themes of the film.”How much does generational trauma affect me and my relationships?” “Are we only meant to repeat what we know?” “Does me being vulnerable make me weak?” In this walk to his destiny Emanuel comes face to face with these questions and it leads to a path of self discovery.
