The Last Goldfish

The Last Goldfish

When Trinidadian-born filmmaker Su Goldfish discovers her father is a German Jew who fled the terrors of Kristallnacht to the only place that would let him in without a visa, she wonders what happened to the rest of the Goldfish family. Is she really the last one? Told through a personal archive of photos and home movies that stretch across a century, the film reveals the inter-generational impact of loss and displacement on refugees and their families, reminding us that similar traumas are being seeded in the current wave of refugees.
