Mémoires d’immigrés : l’héritage maghrébin

“This film is an account of my voyage into the heart of North African immigration in France. The story of fathers, mothers, children, my mother’s story and mine. I had imagined filming would distance me from my own story. On the contrary, it plunged me right back into it. Not that I had forgotten where I came from or who I was. I simply rarely questioned the whys’ The film offered me the identity of a filmmaker, so that I could rebuild an identity I had neglected’ that of a daughter of immigrants.” Yamina Benguigui
