HOMEGROWN: A Part Of/Apart From is a collection of 8 documentary short films from the U.S. territories, Hawaiʻi, and their diasporic communities. This first-of-its-kind series explores issues of cultural identity, sovereignty, and agency unique to each region as local residents and members of the diaspora grapple with what it means to be “a part of and apart from” the mainland U.S. The series is presented by Firelight Media, Pacific Islanders in Communications, Black Public Media, Latino Public Broadcasting, and PBS, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
