Synopsis: A peek into alternative culture, "We're Still Here" follows me on a journey from isolation to community in the underground music and art scene, and on my journey of self discovery, recovery and expression. It documents and snapshots moments I've had over the past 7 months, starting 7 months after being made homeless and 4 months after the multiple assaults that ensued. To me it means sharing my feelings, throughout more of the hardest times of my life, of not just carrying on, but finding joy.
