SOFT is a meditation on rest and liberation for Black women. Through intimate interviews, poetic imagery, archival footage, and interpretive movement, the film explores how the historical treatment of Black women, rooted in labor, control, and disposability, has shaped present-day exhaustion. SOFT uses this lineage as a launching point to examine rest as a radical act of resistance, healing, and reclamation. Blending science, spirit, and intergenerational insight, the film makes a compelling case for why rest is essential, not just for everyone, but especially for Black women.
