Description
I/O Forum Series: “Together Apart”, A Documentary On Work & Migration
Join us for an evening with director Maren Wickwire, as we screen her award-winning documentary “Together Apart”, followed by discussion and a wine reception. All profits will be donated to the California Domestic Workers Coalition.
Together Apart is an intimate family portrait of a Filipina mother and daughter, shifting between the temporary present and future imagination of serial migrants. When Guil Ann arrives on the Mediterranean island Cyprus to join her mother Carren as domestic worker, the women are reunited for the first time in over a decade. Joining the global workforce of Filipinas abroad, Carren spent most of her adult life apart from her children. Only months later, unexpected events lead to Carren’s deportation and challenge both women to confront their precarious dreams for togetherness and a better future.
The film contemplates notions of self-hood, belonging and transnational motherhood, sharing insights into the complex web of global care chains beyond stereotypical narrative of victimization and sacrifice.

The Forum Series seeks to inspire thought and discussion by presenting highly relevant topics that shape the future for our region and society as a whole, through a diverse range of formats such as lectures, screenings, mixers, panel discussions, salons, and more.
We’re not aiming to push any agenda, but simply want to raise a deeper awareness of the challenges faced by working immigrants and inspire conversation around it.
