Robert Oppenheimer, Odysseus must contend with being the architect of human suffering, whether it’s the nucl

So thrilled that the deeply moving, powerful inspiring short film Through My Eyes was selected for the Film Independent Future Filmmakers Showcase. Yesterday Audrey Chang (pictured here) had the opportunity to share why she chose to tell her sister Sophia’s (also pictured here) story through film.
