You're Not Home (2022)
10 min | Horror | Short
When an ominous mould appears in their room, two African brothers seeking asylum are faced with a dark entity lurking within their direct provision center.
​
You're Not Home is a psychological depiction of systemic racism, disempowerment, and exile written to shine more light on the ongoing campaign to end direct provision in Ireland, but one done in an elevated horror genre.
