"Hopes Homestead" is a cinematic essay about memory, place, and cultural continuity. Through conversations, landscapes, and quiet observation, the film documents an American filmmaker's encounter with the history and present-day life of the Abasuba people, reflecting on what it means to inherit, preserve, and reconnect with stories that risk being forgotten.
Hopes Homestead follows odAOMO’s return to the stories, landscapes, and cultural memory surrounding the Abasuba community. Through film, dress, oral history, and place, the project considers what is lost, what remains, and what must be carried forward.
