Join us for a sneak preview excerpt of Traces of Home, Bay Area filmmaker Colette Ghunim’s new documentary in which she embarks on journeys with her parents to find the ancestral houses they were forced to flee as children in Mexico and Palestine. What begins as a desire to connect to Colette’s cultural origins reveals an internal quest to heal her disconnect with her parents, and, ultimately, with herself.
Q&A with the filmmaker will follow the screening.
