About This Movie

The pacing feels deliberate, almost like it’s giving you space to absorb the weight of the stories being told. The atmosphere is heavy, layered with the tension of generational trauma while also having moments of resilience. The personal accounts from descendants are raw, that’s what sets it apart.
