داوگ + مe

My uncle died in 1997 from AIDS. His death led directly to my birth. In that way, I sort of owe everything to him. This is the story of the uncle who I have never met but the ripples of whose legacy live on in every breath I take.

A short animated documentary about a filmmaker’s search to get to know the uncle she never met, whose death from AIDS led directly to her birth. Part thank-you note and part memorial, Doug + Me is both a look into a life and a reflection on the enduring ripples of legacies we all leave behind.
