A multi-chapter, collaborative documentary series by Schmoo Theune & Susann Tischendorf
A prism is an object that divides white light into its seven component colours. Every person has many layers to their identity, from who they say they are, who they think they are, to who they will ultimately decide they will be.
This is especially true for people who have grown up physically or culturally different from those around them, and those who feel split between their ethnic heritage and their current environment.
This series seeks to spark communication and empathy for this shared human experience.
