The Daughters They Were is an evening of short films by writer/director Song Hà. In her words, all mothers are the little girls they once were, raising themselves as they raise daughters of their own. Drawing from her experience as a transgender daughter to a refugee mother, she excavates her desperation to give birth. Does becoming a mother validate one’s womanhood? How do we belong to one another without ownership? Join us for an evening of short films and conversation.

Date: Friday, June 26, 2026
Time: 7pm to 9pm
Location: Junior High, Incorporated (603 South Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA, 91204)
Tickets: $8 | https://juniorhighlosangeles.com/calendar/the-daughters-they-were-screening-2026
