Miami is a city of contrasting perspectives, much like any cosmopolitan area in the world. Some see it as a sun-soaked swamp facing an uncertain future as rising tides threaten its existence. Others label it a pop culture destination. Miami is considered terra firma of the Latin American and Caribbean diaspora, is acknowledged as the sovereign homelands of the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes, and there is a newer wave of Miamian who sees the city as a future technological hub, fueled by politics that encourage entrepreneurial independence.
SIX DEGREES: POETICS OF A CITY IN FLUX explores the nuance of everyday life in this tropical metropolis, weaving six, sometimes-contradictory, personal stories -histories, herstories, and theystories- into one film that collectively paints a portrait of the city.
