I Live Here is a visually stunning narrative — told through
journals, stories, images, and graphic novellas — in which
the lives of refugees and displaced people become at once
personal and global. Bearing witness to stories that are too
often overlooked, it is a raw and intimate journey to crises
in four corners of the world: war in Chechnya, ethnic
cleansing in Burma, globalization in Mexico, and AIDS in Malawi. The voices we encounter are those of displaced women and
children, in their own words or in stories told in text and
images by noted writers and artists. The stories unfold in
an avalanche: An orphan goes to jail for stealing leftovers.
A teenage girl falls in love in a city of disappeared women.
A child soldier escapes his army only to be saved by the
people he was taught to kill. Mia Kirshner’s journals guide us through a unique paper
documentary brought vividly to life in collaboration with
J.B. MacKinnon, Paul Shoebridge, and Michael Simons, with
featured works by Joe Sacco, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Phoebe
Gloeckner, Chris Abani, Karen Connelly, Kamel Khelif, and
many others.
