America ReFramed

Jaddoland

By Nadia Shihab. A Co-Production of the Center for Asian American Media and WORLD Channel.

Nadia Shihab's JADDOLAND is an intimate portrait of the work and process of the director’s visual artist mother Lahib Jaddo. The film offers viewers a fresh look at the immigrant story in America. Through an exploration of her mother’s art and connections to her life in Texas, Shihab also drafts a unique picture of how art can help both the creator and the audience make sense of familial and cultural connections, loss, perseverance and life.
