*ANOMALY: A Documentary Film about Multiracial Identity Now Available on DVD* ---------------------------------------------------------- TWN is proud to release Jessica Chen Drammeh's ANOMALY, a documentary film about multiracial identity in the United States. ANOMALY is an award-winning documentary film that provides a thought-provoking look at multiracial identity by combining personal narratives with the larger drama of mixed race in American culture. The characters use spoken word and music to tell their stories of navigating identity, family and community in a changing world. Community leaders and academic experts contextualize the issues. As it unfolds, ANOMALY tells a story that is deeply personal, yet broadly American. Winner of the Local Filmmaker Award at the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival, ANOMALY interweaves the thoughts and experiences of the participants with the director's narration, creating a rich tapestry of mixed dynamics. Unlike prior works on mixed race issues that focused on one ethnic mix, ANOMALY is truly multiracial. Our participants come from many diverse backgrounds and multiple generations. ANOMALY features the work of singer and songwriter Gabriella Callender, spoken word artist Michelle Myers, musician and poet Pete Shungu and spoken word artist and poet Thaddeus Rutkowski. The film also includes interviews with community experts and scholars Eric Hamako, Jen Chau, Prof. Michele Elam, Prof. Ann Morning, and Prof. Jennifer Chan.
