Synopsis: Fatima gets lost in history and memory while searching through boxes of photos from her father, Mark’s, career in photojournalism. With her father often away from home covering wars, famines, and global politics, Fatima knows very little about his decades of life-threatening work, so she sorts through boxes of photos and negatives for answers about his life, trying to find a path for her own under the shadow of his legacy. This memory play is an exploration of how global politics influence our personal lives, how the past informs the future, how parents’ lives intersect with their children’s, how history and memory clash, and the search for answers to unknown questions in dusty boxes.
