About
Emma Morgan-Bennett (@emmazinha) is a filmmaker from Washington Heights, NY. She holds a particular interest in questions surrounding visual media, race, reproduction, and apocalypse. Awarded the Marshall Scholarship, she is currently pursuing a MA in Digital Media at Goldsmiths.
Director Statement: In wake of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we need art that explores Black lives within and beyond the legacy of racism. Mama, I’m Through reflects the particular choices facing Black women, but also the reality of every person who has wrestled with the ethics of becoming a parent in this chaotic modern world. As a director, I feel deeply drawn to conversations on Blackness and reproduction as an Afro Futurist filmmaker, as a scholar of Medical Anthropology, and personally as a practicing birth Doula.
