A Documentary film by Victor Antillanca

Westside Stories

Westside Stories is a documentary about the historic Westside neighborhood in Kansas City, MO. Featuring over 20 families whose lives reflect stories of immigration, pride, hope, gentrification,  and community.

Told through their own voices, this film is a living testimony to a place rich with culture, resilience, and the fight to stay rooted. It's not just a documentary – it's a voice to the people.

"Westside Stories is about memory, identity, and what it means to hold on when everything around you is changing."

Westside Stories is being made independently – no studios, no corporate funding, just truth. Every dollar goes directly to filming, editing, music, and honoring the stories of the families who trusted us with their voices.

Your support helps preserve a community's memory before it's erased.

Be a part of this. Help us finish the film.

Even $10 makes a difference.
