Storytelling Stage (Booth #349)
Two lifelong friends. Omar is living with Sickle Cell Disease; Jaqai has uprooted his life to make a documentary about him. Spilled Milk explores the harsh realities of Sickle Cell, beyond the significant physical impact of the disease. It captures straight talk from doctors about the inexperience many hospital staffers have with Sickle Cell, and the consequent stigmas that can plague African Americans seeking treatment for pain. Directed by Jaqai Mickelsen.
