Description
Summary:The Celine Archive is a creative documentary that brings together animation, portraiture, interviews, site visits, and archival materials to uncover the real story of Celine Navarro, a Filipin@ immigrant woman buried alive by her community in Northern California in 1932, revealing Navarro's feminism and resistance in a time when neither was embraced. Filmmaker and scholar Celine Parreñas Shimizu, a grieving mother with a long-term commitment to exploring race, gender and immigration, artfully weaves together her own story of grief with the story of the tragic death of Navarro, exposing silences that haunt Filipin@x American communities today, along with Celine Navarro's family, community members and scholars who know different details about this largely untold event in American history.
