RIDM 2018 People's Choice Award – Memory Is Our Homeland

February 08, 2019 by Carmela Baranowska

What happens to history’s forgotten people? How did young Polish women deported to the Soviet Union end up as refugees in African villages in the 1940s? 'Memory Is Our Homeland' exposes the tragic fate of nearly 1,000,000 Polish Catholics and Jews who were deported to Siberian labour camps during the Second World War, and the tens of thousands of them who wound up in East Africa after an odyssey through Iran and India. Through the recollections of the filmmaker's grandmother and other survivors, the film exposes a deliberately erased chapter of history, and questions the nature of identities rooted in exile and trauma.
