Premiere Screening: "TRAPPED."

Cross Cultural Expressions, in partnership with Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, proudly presents TRAPPED., an evocative feature film written and directed by Mastaneh Moghadam, LCSW. This psychological drama delves into the complexities of ancestral trauma, shedding light on the often-unspoken mental health struggles within immigrant families.

TRAPPED. follows the story of Daria, a first-generation immigrant, who finds herself suffocating under the weight of her mother’s unhealed wounds.

With a gripping narrative and deeply human performances, the film explores the silent burdens that immigrant children carry and the difficult path toward breaking free.
