In TRACES OF HOME, filmmaker Colette Ghunim 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.

Filmmakers including Executive Producer Dr. Gabor Maté and director Colette Ghunim wil be joining us for a post-show talk-back following the screening.

“In ‘Traces of Home’, our past has a way of resurfacing no matter how hard we try to bury it. Only by confronting those old wounds can we find a new path to walk together.” (Film Threat)
