FELLOWS 2018

Picture
 In 2018, the CAMRA Fellows Program continued it's pilot expansion from the previous year, thanks to generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The fellows’ films focus on an array of social justice issues and themes, including immigration and refugee-ship, gentrification and displacement and multifaceted cultural identity.
