Description

Description

Paris-based documentarian Sandra Kogut decided to try to obtain a Hungarian passport and her year-long effort to accomplish this task turned into an exploration of complex bureaucracy and racism. In 1937, Kogut’s Jewish grandparents fled Hungary for sanctuary in Brazil and were only allowed to enter after successfully bribing immigration officials. As she travels from Paris to Brazil to Hungary to document her family’s history in order to obtain her passport, Kogut experiences much of the same racism regarding her Jewish heritage that her grandparents endured.
