There is a particular grief that comes from spending years running from the very things that made you — and the particular grace of finding your way back.
The Weight of a Name is a deeply personal documentary about identity, heritage, and the long journey toward understanding and honouring where you come from. It is a film about the courage it takes to look back — and the freedom that comes when you finally do.
