The Poem We Sang

Annie Sakkab

Asia Pacific Premiere

An experimental film that meditates on love and longing - the love of one's family and the longing for one's home, contemplated through overcoming the trauma of loss of family home and of forced migration, transforming lifelong regrets into a healing journey of creative catharsis and bearing witness.
