"Willing to Grow" is a poetic exploration of forgiveness, hurt, and healing through a series of interconnected vignettes. Written by Caleb "The Negro Artist" Rainey, this film presents 8 powerful poems, each delving into themes of romantic turmoil, misogynoir, and the aftermath of sexual assault.
With a unique approach, a different director takes the helm for each pair of vignettes, infusing their own style and vision into the storytelling. Through visual poetry and evocative imagery, the film captures the raw emotions of the human experience.
