In 1971, a six-year-old girl in the Bronx discovered a glowing cross in her bathroom window, stirring awe and skepticism across the community. Fifty years later, she returns to confront the mystery that shaped her faith—and the line between memory and the miraculous.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Human Rights Film Festival at Morehouse College and experience a screening of “The Sight Unseen.” 🎬

Following the screening, I had the opportunity to interview director and filmmaker @shawnantoineii and hear his perspective on the film, the story behind its creation, and the message he hopes audiences take away from it.

Grateful for another opportunity to grow as a journalist, connect with creatives, and cover stories with purpose. 🎥🎤#viral #auc #humanrightsfilmfestival #film #thesightunseen by @shawnantoineii
