The Homes We Carry

About This Movie

The Homes We Carry is a poignant documentary that delves into the lives of the Madgermanes, those Mozambican contract workers who navigated life in East Germany. Director Brenda Akele Jorde crafts a rich tapestry of personal stories, particularly through Eulidio and his daughter Sarah, who traverse two cultures. The film immerses you in the nostalgia of a divided past, with evocative visuals that juxtapose the vibrancy of Mozambique against the backdrop of German history. There's this haunting quality in the pacing, allowing themes of displacement and identity to breathe. The interviews feel raw and intimate, revealing deep connections yet also the strains of separation. It's a thoughtful exploration of home, a place shaped by memory, struggle, and resilience.
