DIRECTORS: MEGZ TRUFANT TILLMAN & KIMIKO MATSUDA-LAWRENCE

The Birthday Song is an intimate remembering of Micah’s 13th birthday—the day she learns a Category 5 hurricane is set to make landfall in her city in less than 48 hours. In the midst of a lively Black family birthday gathering, as Micah wrestles with her own set of adolescent issues, a storm brews in the gulf. Unbeknownst to her, this storm will shape American history—and change the course of her entire life.
