Description
In her award-winning debut feature film TRACES OF HOME, filmmaker Colette Ghunim follows her family through the complex histories of her Mexican mother and Palestinian father's journeys to the US and return to their homelands. Colette’s initial desire to heal her disconnect from her cultures and her parents reveals an internal quest to discover home within herself. This highly reflective and personal documentary doubles as a meditation on loss and grief relieved, ultimately, through reconciliation.
