Raiz Trailers

Raiz ("Roots" in Papiamento, the island language of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire), is created from historical archives and the home movies of an Aruban family, who had to leave the island in search of work in the 1980s. The film is made by their son, raised as a third-culture child, reflecting on the ideas of belonging and home through the long-distance calls with his family.

Reviews
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
