Layering old archival footage, interviews with family and friends, dramatic enactments and personal poetic vignettes, Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell is a beautiful maze of memories and stories. Polley takes us on a very personal journey that explores the fabric of her family and the elusive secret that lurks underneath. This Canadian Screen Award winner for Best Feature Documentary also conveys a universal story about how we construct memories and emotions from our own acts of storytelling and how the impact of these stories (especially over time) can often lead to re-creating one’s own reality.
