East Meets West
 

​

We are living in an interconnected world in which cultural identity is intertwined and expanding in so many different ways. A sense of belonging is what we all strive for in this world. The feeling of displacement is inevitable throughout the journey of life. The answer lies in the memory that we choose to hold in our hearts. This short documentary explores the story of a girl finding that sense of belonging through her journey from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. She travels far only to realize home is always in front of her. The journey starts from the far Eastern part of the world and ends in the West. And like Greenwich where the dividing line between eastern and western time zones is set to serve as the center of navigation worldwide, the fine line where she finds her sense of belonging acts as the definitive line between two parts of the world that are so significant to her life.
