On The Fence

PLAYING WITH THE LONG RIDER

Directed by Paula Ner Dormiendo | 6 Minutes | Documentary | Canadian Premiere

An intertwined conversation recalls childhood, home, and the feelings of confusion & loneliness that often accompany them as 1st and 2nd generation immigrants. As they look back on their moments of disconnect, they find peace in reclaiming and rebuilding their own identities in this cathartic journey of reminiscence and belonging.
