In Joseph Ileto’s Eyes

Описание: In this video, the story of “In Joseph Ileto’s Eyes” is told through the voices of his brother, Ismael Ileto, along with Ismael’s wife Deena. Ismael reflects on Joseph’s life with tenderness and pride, describing him as a hardworking and humble man who took joy in simple routines like delivering mail and being present for his family. He recalls Joseph’s quiet strength, his dedication to service, and the deep sense of responsibility he carried as both a postal worker and a brother.

Ismael and Deena share how this tragedy turned an ordinary day into a lifelong wound for their family. But there was not only the grief and anger that followed but also the determination to honor Joseph’s memory by speaking out against violence and discrimination. Their voices anchor the story in resilience and remembrance, urging the community to carry forward Joseph’s legacy by standing against hate and fostering understanding.
