\"\"The Nest \/ Le nid<\/em> (2025) – Documentary Film by Chase Joynt and Julietta Singh<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a house full of secrets, centuries of forgotten matriarchs emerge to reveal untold stories of resistance and resilience.<\/p>\n

At the end of her mother\u2019s life, decolonial writer Julietta Singh returns to say goodbye to her haunted childhood home. As she digs into the history of the house, she uncovers 140 years of forgotten matriarchs and political rebels she never knew. Singh teams up with acclaimed filmmaker Chase Joynt (Framing Agnes, No Ordinary Man) for a politically charged cross-community collaboration that deftly interweaves Indigenous, Deaf, Japanese and South Asian histories, all connected through the home. A reckoning with memory, matriarchy and the enduring legacies of silenced voices, the film questions who gets lost in the archives of history, and what we stand to gain by resurrecting them. The Nest transforms a single home from a place of siloed histories into a site of radical collective potential. (Synopsis from NFB film site<\/a>)<\/p>\n
