This film blends interviews with dramatizations to portray one of Miami’s most controversial, political, and human interest stories.

In Milia, Nathaniel, a New York fashion photographer, stumbles upon the headshot of Milia, a model who strongly reminds him of a past love. Intrigued, Nathaniel books Milia for test shots, only to realize that she is his daughter. Unaware of this, Milia finds herself falling in love with her father. Both films are free and open to the public and followed by an engaging Q + A session with the filmmakers.
