"Motherland." Documentary

I am the daughter of a Transylvanian Saxon migrant. "Transylvanian Saxons" are people of German descent whose ancestors emigrated to present-day Romania and Hungary in the 12th century. My mother was born in Romania but identifies as German. In the early 90s, my family migrated to Germany and has been living there since. In this documentary, I openly share personal conversations and research about my family’s background while accompanying my mother on a journey back to her birthplace in Romania.
