Documentary

I do not speak my own language, That absences is a form of voice.

Directors: maha ait

Overview:

An introspective documentary about identity and belonging, following a young woman as she grapples with her disconnection from her cultural roots. As she travels to her father’s hometown, she documents him, his family, and her extended relatives, using the camera as a way to explore her heritage from within. Through personal reflection and lived experience, the film examines what it means to belong when language and culture feel distant, and how reconnecting with family can reshape one’s sense of self.
