About the project:

“Things We Left Behind” is a visual diary film of an immigrant’s experience, recounting memories and objects that connect her to her former life. At 12 years old, Edilsa came to the US as an unaccompanied minor, with nothing save for a plastic bag to protect her from the cold. The film is a story of survival and how the unfolding of memory can propel one beyond insufferable trauma and loss.
