There are galleries devoted to indigenous peoples, British settlement, immigration, and 1960s suburbia - where you will find a display recreating the kitchen-and-backyard idyll that nurtured the baby boomers. Looming large in this time capsule is a petrol-powered, rotary-engine Victa lawnmower and, tucked inside a cupboard, a Sunbeam Mixmaster.

He takes trips to the Disney parks as to a shrine. He has spoken often about doing a movie musical...
...narrated movie reels the audience into its tale of young adults raised both in turn-of-the-millennium suburbia and in the shadow of their parents’ memories of genocide, primarily by letting its subjects tell their own story. A significant portion of the film is shot by the kids themselves with hand-held cameras. When Mallozzi is behind the camera, her three-year effort reflects a painstaking and nonjudgmental commitment to capture minute details and make sure we don’t turn the characters into immigrant saints or ethnic stereotypes...
