19 is an experimental autobiographical documentary that opens with a failed suicide attempt. After enduring Marine Corps training, a career-ending injury, declining mental health, and the silent weight carried by first-generation children in order to justify sacrifice. The fi lm interrogates resilience and survival in a system that leaves little room for either. When she wakes, she begins applying to the University of Michigan, choosing a future she wasn’t sure she would live to see.
Directed by Galileha Celeste Calvario-Zavala (USA)
