This is a film about two exceptional Houstonians who despite hardships are working to better their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Their stories portray why immigration matters, why community-based projects need to thrive and why, above all, Houston is a place for opportunity.

THESE BONES OF MINE tells the story of Syed, a courageous Pakistani man’s escape to Houston. After surviving religious persecution and struggling to keep his family alive, Syed arrives to Houston.

But that is only the beginning of his story.

Across town, SWAN SONG, chronicles the life of a Montrose family grappling with a parent’s descent into dementia. The Greers grew up in a 3-woman unit. The kind of mother-and-daughter team people nickname: “The Greer Girls”. Marilyn is diagnosed with dementia at 58 and her daughters halt their 20s to care for their mother during her most precious years.

These are real stories. Full of emotion. Told by the people of Houston themselves.
