EP10 | PORTABLE HOME – THE STORY BEHIND THE AWARD-WINNING FILM What if food could carry a piece of home wherever you go? Portable Home is an award-winning film from *Ateker Film Festival Season 2* that explores the powerful connection between *culture, food, identity, and belonging* in Kakuma Refugee Camp. The film focuses on **Anjera**, a traditional Ethiopian food, and the people who prepare, share, and connect with it. For many refugees, food is more than something to eat—it carries memories, traditions, family, and a sense of home. Through Portable Home*, filmmakers **Gabriella Kennedy* and *Alvin Demule* show how cultural food helps people preserve their identity and traditions while building a new life in the refugee camp. In this episode, *Linda A. Longole* sits down with the filmmakers to explore the story behind Portable Home*, the meaning of Anjera, and how food can become a **portable piece of home* even when people are far from where they came from. 🏆 *Award-winning film | Ateker Film Festival – Season 2* *Film:* Portable Home *Filmmakers:* Gabriella Kennedy & Alvin Demule *Host:* Linda A.
