A Conversation with Your Mom

A Conversation with Your Mom is inspired by Chantal Akerman’s News From Home. In the film, she reads letters her mother sent her ,between 1971 and 1973, which she reads over footage of the city. You can watch that here.

You: That sucks. She should get help after school.

Mom: She started staying after, and it's helped with English. She just really struggles with math. What are you going to do, I guess. At least she's trying.

"Yeah." or "Math isn't that important anyway."
