This is How I Want to Remember H.E.R.

Ten-year-old Corbin is just hitting that age, that time in his life when he realizes how much the color of his black skin separates him from his friends and neighbors in the suburbs. So when his family takes in his cousin Patience, a 15-year-old lesbian who's been living on the streets, Corbin is captivated by her unapologetic attitude and gift for rap. He sees in her someone unafraid to be different, even though Corbin's parents and his 16-year-old brother Luke seem to think Patience is a nightmare. But as Patience's behavior grows more erratic, Corbin is shown the pain beneath her brash confidence, and that pain will change the way he looks at her and himself forever. (Pan African Film Festival)
