Traces of Home is the debut feature by director Colette Ghunim that explores her Palestinian and Mexican heritage through a personal lens. The documentary chronicles Ghunim's five-year journey to reconnect her parents with their lost homes in Palestine and Mexico, focusing on themes of memory, trauma, and the immigrant experience. Using a blend of vérité filmmaking, animation, and archival footage, the film captures the emotional complexities of displacement and the search for belonging while reflecting on the larger struggles faced by Arab and Latinx communities in the U.S. The work serves as an evocative meditation on identity and reconciliation across generations.
