When Kit Vincent, a young filmmaker, first receives a terminal diagnosis, his first instinct is to turn on his camera and document those closest to him. Kit’s divorced parents are naturally having a hard time grappling with the reality of their son’s illness, and his father, Lawrence, begins a transition of his own—a conversion to Judaism. Following along with his father’s process of grieving for his son’s upended future, Red Herring captures the absurdity of the things we do to find solace in times of inexplicable tragedy. In this personal and touching documentary about a life cut short, Vincent walks the line between humor and grief to helm this love letter to the relationships that keep us going through the dark stages of life.

As students return to universities around the world, four British-Somali students talk about navigating one of Britain's most elite institutions: Cambridge University. Their identity is rooted in Somalinimo ('the essence of being Somali') and in this love letter to Somali culture, blackness, and Islam, they reflect on both belonging and marginalization. The women discuss conflicts with their parents, the sense of solidarity they have built at Cambridge, and the legacy they are creating for the next generation of British-Somalis. They give new meaning to an old Somali proverb: 'Clothing that is not yours cannot shelter you from the cold.'
