The Poem We Sang
A 20-minute, colour and black and white, experimental documentary that meditates on the love of one's family and the longing for one's home, contemplated through overcoming the trauma of loss of family and home and of forced migration, transforming lifelong regrets into a healing journey of creative catharsis and bearing witness.
