Tiny Movements is a documentary short film that tells the story of Jenn Green. After many years of marriage, Green finds a file of video recordings in which her husband drugged and raped her. With the support of her community, Jenn gets an order of protection and continues dancing in her kitchen daily, which she documents on her Instagram account. Directed by Laura Sweeney, Tiny Movements documents Jenn’s healing process and demonstrates the power of dance as a meditative and restorative practice. (Written by Samantha Manogue ’26)
