MEANWHILE is a docu-poem in six verses about artists breathing through chaos. In dynamic collaboration, Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction), combine artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil a rare cinematic mediation about identity, race, racism and resistance as they shape our shared breath.

In the new film “Meanwhile”, writer and performer Jacqueline Woodson says “this is not a love letter to this country but to us inside this country.” Catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd, producer and director Catherine Gund and Woodson tap into our shared existence.
