I Breathe Life! New film project heads to production

Durham filmmakers Leslie Cunningham and Debbie Vu are joining forces to tell a powerful and poetic story they call- I Breathe Life! The Story of Monica Daye & SUSO.

In the heart of Durham, NC, I Breathe Life! unfolds the inspiring journey of Monica Daye, a survivor of sexual assault and intimate partner violence who, through the power of poetry, transforms her pain into a beacon of hope. An award-winning spoken word artist and the force behind Stand Up Speak Out-NC (SUSO), Monica advocates for change, offering healing through art to area youth plagued by domestic violence and sexual assault. A blend of resilience, courage, and the transformative impact of creative expression, I Breathe Life urges viewers to rise, stand up, and speak out against the silence surrounding these critical issues. The release of the film is slated to be completed in early 2025. Stay updated here at https://susonc.org/film-project.
