In the Shadow of Eden
NEW DOCS
Employing home movies, photographs and her artwork to stunning effect, filmmaker Rachael Romero comes to grips with the physical, sexual and emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her religion-fixated father while growing up in rural Australia. The film chronicles her painful childhood, her world travels and her return home to confront her father on his deathbed. Romero’s use of sound and image is sophisticated, her narration is spellbinding and her film is haunting and remarkably courageous. TL
