About this Event
Dir. Colette Ghunim
Non-Fiction
Colette Ghunim grew up with a typical American childhood in suburban Illinois. Her father, Hosni, and mother, Iza were determined to give her and her brother, Ramsey, a happy life. Yet something always felt missing - Colette felt disconnected from her parents. Forced to flee Palestine and Mexico as children, her parents’ only desire was to make a life that was simple, safe, and American. Emotional walls built out of their suppressed trauma drew her family further apart over the years. Now, decades later, filmmaker Colette Ghunim takes us on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery to find the source of the walls by returning to find her parents’ childhood homes, confronting the pain of the past to finally heal herself and her parents. Join us for a post-screening Q&A with the film director.
