Memorias de Mi Familia, is a personal documentary where I explore the meaning of “home”, through my family’s stories of multiple migrations between Puerto Rico and the United States. Through interviews, family films, home videos, and photographs spanning over 60 years, I examine the revolving migration pattern common to many Puerto Ricans, a cycle framed and at times burdened by Puerto Rico’s colonial relationship with the United States.
