"I am moved by this complex narrative about the fragility of the body, and the ways in which it can fail us, or dare us to remain triumphant in spite of its failing...it allows for the clinical and yet remains closely personal. It blends poetic imagery with a harsh and touchable reality, where a happy ending isn’t promised. It echoes life itself."
-Hanif Abdurraqib, judge's comments on "I Remember, I Re-Remember"
