Based on diaries that detail 30 years of service abroad of a Canadian Immigration Officer, The Dependents is an intimate audiovisual exploration of transient lives. It navigates through travel, my father’s employment, and my mother’s role as a spouse. Home and belonging are reconstructed between the past and present as a direct result of displacement and globalization, marking the political complexities between East and West, North and South, and Men and Women.
