Matrilineal
All her life, filmmaker Caterina Klusemann believed she was of Venezuelan-Polish Catholic ancestry. Unbeknownst to her, both her grandmother and mother were Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Matrilineal is her intensely personal documentary that follows these three generations of women after this truth is revealed. Knit together from home movie footage, the film challenges the notion that trauma must be inherited and shows how, when the silence is finally broken, a family can be brought together. |
