CHOOSE

As the daughter of Italian immigrants to Montreal, filmmaker Agata De Santis turns the camera on her family and community as she seeks to articulate the effects a half-century of adaptation and integration has had on the immigrant experience. What are the venues, ventures and values the community holds dear? What is it ready to let go? TERRA MIA examines how Italians living in Quebec navigate their duality.
