The Undermine is a personal, creative documentary exploring the legacy of trauma and neurodiversity in the filmmaker’s own family. A deep-dive into the past reveals repeated patterns, choices amidst failing systems – real and metaphorical crashes that ripple through generations. What is a mother to do when the neurotypical world sees her children as a problem that needs to be fixed? These stories are told with archive, conversation, documentary, live action reconstruction and small intricate paper dioramas.
