Brother's Keeper
Local filmmaker explores childhood grieving
There’s loss, then there’s the childhood loss of a sibling, which, according to filmmaker Perry Allen, comes with peculiar complications. Besides the usual grief, there’s guilt (“Why not me?”), the loss of companionship, and the restructuring of the family dynamic. Allen explores childhood grieving and the loss of his brother in the new documentary A Moment of Light, which he’ll preview at a benefit screening at Alwun House.
