About a Home

About This Movie

About a Home is a raw and personal documentary that quietly explores the realities of housing insecurity through the lens of Precious Sarria and her family. The film’s tone is intimate, almost diary-like, capturing their struggles and resilience over two years. It’s not flashy; the pacing is reflective, inviting viewers to sit with the weight of their experiences. The themes of community and survival resonate deeply, especially against the stark backdrop of Silicon Valley’s wealth. There’s something distinctive about how the family chose to document their journey—there’s a certain vulnerability in their honesty. And despite the heavy subject matter, you feel a sense of hope peeking through the cracks of despair. It’s a meaningful watch that stays with you, nudging at your consciousness long after it ends.
