"Feral" tells the story of Yasmine (Annapurna Sriram), a homeless woman living in the tunnels underneath Manhattan’s West Side. Surviving on her own terms while trying to build a new life alone, she is reeling from the loss of her mother, who was deported when she was 16. Older now, Yasmine, struggles to rise from poverty as the perils of the underground fill her with despair. Along her journey, Yasmine meets a cast of characters and real New York personalities, each living in their own form of exile: a lonely piano player who’s never played his music out loud; a mother who regrets the birth of her six-year-old; a lonely grandmother nostalgic for her salsa music past and the Mission who is there to help, but only if she’s willing to play by their rules. The film was inspired by director Andrew Wonder’s previous project tackling homelessness. Wonder first explored New York City’s subway system with the documentary "Undercity", where he and Steve Duncan spent time overnight with homeless individuals in both NYC and Las Vegas. "Feral" was shot within a month, utilizing a cast which included former homeless people and those who worked in the system. "Feral" was produced by Wonder's company Tomorrow in association with Tony Award-nominated production company HIPZEE. Executive Producers included "The Strange Ones"'s Michael Prall, and "Above The Shadows"'s Tara Sickmeier and Robert Baunoch III. "Feral" had its world premiere at the Sarasota Film Festival on April 7, 2019. The film screened at the Bushwick Film Festival where Sriram’s performance earned a Best Actress Award.
