Your Children Come Back to You
1979, 27 minutes, BW, 16mm, Subtitled
Order No. W99311
Alile Sharon Larkin's first film is a contemporary allegory about values and assimilation. The film literalizes the meaning of a "mother country" by means of the story of a young girl, Tovi, torn between two surrogate mothers: one comfortably bourgeois, the other nationalist.
QUOTES

"One of the most ambitious, challenging works of its kind made by a Black woman."
