Synopsis

the poem we sang is a 20-minute, color and black and white, experimental documentary that meditates on love and longing, the love of one’s family and the longing for one’s home, contemplated through overcoming the trauma of the loss of a family home and of forced migration, transforming lifelong regrets into a healing journey of creative catharsis and bearing witness.
