This is one of the most personal projects that I have ever worked
on. I created this documentary as a Christmas gift for my parents.
The documentary chronicles their early years in Canada as immigrants,
a story of overcoming obstacles to create a life for themselves. As
I worked on this, I quickly realized that this was going to be
personal self-exploration for me as well.
Other than my narration, the source of the material was from old
audio cassettes that were gathering dust in my parent's house.
Next to letter writing, recording one's voice and sending that
instead of a letter was popular back in the 1970s. These recorded
words, mostly in Hungarian, offer a glimpse into the relationship of
different family members and how the stress of an ocean separating
those bonds affected my parents.
