About this submission
We have become so overwhelmed with daily news stories from so many different sources, it has become easy to desensitize ourselves to current violence and injustice towards immigrants in this country. Through For Kate, I wanted to create a compelling narrative to return that element of humanity that gets lost through news articles. Exploring this story through a child's perspective gave us an innocent perception of the world and the people in it. Through her eyes, we see a person only for their best qualities as a human being, regardless of status.
