THE TESTIMONIAL
“The next day when my mother and I went to look at the accident scene the fire brigade had already washed the roads down. So we weren’t able to see the chalk lining of my brother where he laid deceased, and any of that stuff because it was already washed away. They decided to run with it and do their own investigation.”
Kylie Hampton has had two immediate family members die in custody – her father and her younger brother.

In this film, Kylie recalls how these tragic (and avoidable) events have shaped her life. Visually, the film will lean into a narrative of loss and emptiness by showing her father and brother disappear from family portraits hanging on the wall of their home.
