Story
Survivor testimony and family memory.
The film follows living testimony and family-held memory around a displacement history that has not had a clear public record.
The film
Displaced is being built from field interviews, family memory and archival fragments around a displacement history that has not been publicly recognized.
The approach
The film is still in the field. Names, spellings, chronology and permissions are being confirmed as new interviews and source material come in.
James is shaping the film with Pala Kovacs through patient interview coverage, trailer-derived material, field photographs and an edit process that can change as the people closest to the story clarify the record.
In development. Current visuals come from the development trailer and field photographs while the film continues to take shape.

In development
Field testimony, source material and a story still being clarified.
Displaced is not being presented as a released film. The public record is being built carefully from interviews, family memory, archival fragments and field photographs.
The current development material includes a trailer, archival material, interviews and field photographs gathered while the story is still being developed in the field.
Development documents remain source material. The visible image set stays with field photographs and trailer frames while the film's public language continues to develop.
As the interviews continue, the page should keep changing with corrected spelling, confirmed chronology, consent boundaries and the language preferred by the people carrying the story.
Status
Active field development.
The project is being treated as in-development until the interviews, permissions, spelling and public framing are settled.
Imagery
Trailer frames and field stills.
The visible image set stays grounded in development visuals: trailer frames, field photographs and the work currently underway.
Development material
Trailer pulls and field photographs.
A working image set from the in-development documentary: archival fragments from the trailer, field landscapes and BTS from current field work.
