Relative

Cultures & Communities Festival

When filmmaker Tracey Arcabasso Smith confronts her childhood sexual abuse, she unearths a complex history of multigenerational abuse in her family, forcing her to make an impossible decision: to stay silent and let the cycle continue, or to speak up and risk losing the family she loves. RELATIVE is an intimate and artful exploration of the complexity of familial ties, queer identity, memory, fear, and love.
