In today's uncertain world, what is the meaning of home? Over the course of four years, filmmaker Alan Govenar talked to over 60 people around the globe about the ever-evolving ways we think and feel about one of our most basic needs -- from a college student in Buenos Aires to a homeless couple living in a makeshift tent in the woods, a hot dog vendor in New York City, an artist in Nairobi, and a woman and man whose unlikely relationship emerged during France's Covid lockdown. As global crises have left millions of people both bound to and displaced from their physical habitats, Looking for Home resonates across time and place, in search of a deeper meaning of home -- a concept universally embraced, but which is now in an unprecedented state of flux.

anthony h Looking for Home is a thought provoking, poignant, and heart warming film that explores what the term "home" means to people of all walks of life. Honest, objective, and almost dream-like in it's telling, the film seamlessly interweaves its subjects' stories as they ponder the question, "What is home to you?". Looking for Home is a timely documentary and a must see! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
