THE TIES THAT BIND

by Su FRIEDRICH
1984 / 16mm / b&w / sound / 1S / 55' 00

An experimental documentary about my mother's life in Nazi Germany and her marriage to an American soldier. In voice-over, she recounts her experiences, while footage shows her daily life in Chicago, the assembly of a model German house, contemporary peace marches, archival documents on Germany, newspaper headers, her early years in America and much more. All these sequences are woven together to produce a dialogue between past and present, between mother and daughter.
