Home as a Refugee: A Conversation with Oscar Award-Winning Filmmaker, Megan Mylan

  • Summary

  • Boy, am I excited to share with you all this week’s episode of Finding Home. (and that’s an understatement).

    I was lucky to get to talk with Megan Mylan, who is an Oscar-winning documentary film director. You might be familiar with her current documentary, Simple as Water, or her excellent Lost Boys of Sudan - or Oscar-winner Smile Pinki.

    Megan’s films aren’t a casual watch - they delicately unravel the more difficult parts of life: separation, displacement, family struggle, and the impacts of war.

    In her most recent film, Simple as As Water, Megan paints an intimate portrait of the impact of war, separation, and displacement of Syrian families. It’s a tough but an urgent and timeless portrait. The film is much more than just a conversation about the devastation of war. It’s about the steadfast power of parental love.

    Proud to share this conversation with you all. I hope you enjoy. And if you haven’t already, watch Simple As Water on HBO.
