Raiz ("Roots" in Papiamento, the island language of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire), is created from historical archives and the home movies of an Aruban family, who had to leave the island in search of work in the 1980s. The film is made by their son, raised as a third-culture child, reflecting on the ideas of belonging and home through the long-distance calls with his family.
