In 1932, Celine Navarro was buried alive by her own community of Filipino Americans in northern California. Filmmaker Celine Parreñas Shimizu, finding kinship with Navarro’s long-lost story, exhumes her tragic life story while trying to unravel the mystery of her murder. This documentary paints a vivid portrait of the early Filipino migrant community, creating space not just for a reckoning with the haunting violence of Navarro’s murder but also belated community grief.

Presented by the UCSC Center for Racial Justice.
