Congratulations to Re-Take Oakland filmmaker, Pallavi Somusetty, for being awarded a Sundance Institute Documentary Fund Grant for her film, Coach Emily.
Coach Emily is a feature documentary that follows Emily Taylor, an Oakland-based Black and queer rock climbing coach, as she battles systemic racism in her professional and personal life. Through her Brown Girls Climbing program, Emily trains young girls of color, including her own daughter, as they resist discrimination in the climbing world and work to define themselves in the outdoors.
