In DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES, three young Black women – Z, Lauren, and Tasha – embark on a road trip across the U.S., sparked by the search for a missing friend. With a focus on friendship, the film sensitively depicts the realities of Black queer women in the U.S., addressing societal and familial tensions as well as trauma. A striking and unsettling sound design underscores the fears and dreams of the protagonists.

Director Shatara Michelle Ford has crafted a film that highlights the importance of queer solidarity and the beauty of discovering one’s chosen family – and oneself.
