Centering on themes of togetherness, community and family,
The VCR explores a time when film-watching came with pleasure, warmth, and excitement.
Narrated by my mother in our native tongue (Gujarati), the story follows her tales from when she was a child, and access to movies was limited. Reminiscing and romanticizing her past, she then takes us through her childhood memories, describing the advent of the VCR, and how the device revolutionized movie-watching in a way nothing had before.
