For A Day Like Today

Where do you see the ones you have lost?

Following the death of her husband, Dan, in November of 2010, Suzanne Frisse Lathrop converts her Facebook into a public diary, housing her grief in magical and unexpected ways. A ritual throughout her week, Suzanne photographs the sky and shares photos containing strange spherical aberrations which she calls "orbs." For A Day Like Today confronts American attitudes surrounding grief all the while inviting audiences to reflect on how and where they see those they have lost.

Directed by Tia Anjali Sarkar
