As we take a journey back home\, with filmmaker Ira McKinley\, to the land of sugarcane\, he reconnects with his niece Bridget and nephew Alvin and explores their shared family history that spans seven generations. Told through stories that transcend space and time\, “Outta The Muck” presents an intimate portrait of a community that resists despair with love\, remaining fiercely self-determined\, while forging its own unique narrative of Black achievement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBHAWIN SUCHAKDIRECTOR/PRODUCER/DOP/EDITOR \n\n\n\nBhawin is an educator\, filmmaker\, and founding member/co-executive director of Youth FX\, a media arts organization focused on empowering young people of color in Albany\, NY and around the world by teaching them creative and technical skills in film and digital media while supporting self-determined communities of emerging artists.
