Traces of Home

Traces of Home is a documentary that explores generational trauma and the process of reconciliation. A young filmmaker uses her camera to engage with her parents, a Palestinian father and a Mexican mother, about their difficult migrations to the United States. The film examines how grief and past pain have shaped the family's relationships, specifically within a social climate where people of their backgrounds face increasing hostility.

Directed by Colette Ghunim, who also appears as herself, the film was written by Ghunim and Sara Maamouri. The production was a collaboration between several companies, including Latino Public Broadcasting, Kartemquin Films, Sundance Institute, and Watermelon Pictures. The cast features Colette Ghunim alongside Hosni, Iza, and Ramsey Ghunim, all appearing as themselves. The film has a runtime of 93 minutes.
