Ashes Never Rest

In a community haunted by domestic strife and inter-community violence, a young Black man finds himself stalked by a sinister Apparition—an embodiment of generational trauma and suppressed identity. Battling to preserve his true sense of self against the crushing weight of societal expectations, he’s drawn into a spiraling psychological struggle where reality and nightmare blur. The film confronts the mental health toll of normalized violence and forces a reckoning with the unseen scars passed from one generation to the next.
