Define the Narrative is a deeply personal and community-rooted documentary chronicling Adela Hittell’s journey of the impact of trauma from war and survival to the creation of Project Human Inc. Through intimate conversations and powerful visuals, the film explores how one woman’s search for humanity became a mirror for an entire community’s transformation.

Filmed over five years, this documentary reflects the rebirth of purpose, the healing power of connection, and the voices of Jacksonville — the people who showed up, spoke out, and helped redefine what it means to be human.

Now, as we head into post-production and prepare for the 2025–2026 film festival circuit, we need your help to complete this work and bring it to the world.
