As just announced this week in The Hollywood Reporter, Illumin8 Entertainment and Pizarro Creative are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of KAMALA, a highly anticipated short film that offers a fresh, original perspective on the life and journey of Vice President Kamala Harris. Set to debut in theaters nationwide this October, KAMALA is a poignant exploration of resilience, well-being, and the pursuit of justice, told through the lens of first-time directors Samir Zakir and Gerard Pizarro. Tracey Bing of Badabing Pictures is a producer on the film and is overseeing release strategy and distribution.
KAMALA is a project born from the collaboration of underdogs telling an underdog story, with co-directors Zakir and Pizarro bringing their unique vision to the screen. The film captures Kamala Harris’s unwavering dedication to well-being, both personally and in her service to the nation, while delving into the conflicts, trust issues, and untold stories that have shaped her journey.
Kamala is more than just a film—it’s a piece of art that offers an original perspective on one of the most influential figures of our time. Through innovative storytelling, animation, and interviews with celebrities, family, close friends, leading political figures and more, KAMALA reveals the untold stories and personal sacrifices that have shaped Vice President Harris’s journey. The symbolism of the lotus flower, representing growth and resilience, is woven throughout the film.
“This film is about more than Kamala’s political journey—it’s about her humanity. It’s about the joyous warrior she is, working to elevate the well-being of all people,” said Gerard Pizarro, who co-directed, wrote, and produced the film alongside Samir Zakir. “As an underdog and new filmmaker, myself, I’m honored to tell the story of another underdog—a Black and Indian woman who has broken barriers and inspired millions.”
