Synopsis

Hotel rooms in six different countries serve as the backdrop for a series of video recordings made over six years. These recordings connect personal experiences to the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel/Palestine during the 'War on Terror' era under Presidents Bush and Blair. The filmmaker uses chance encounters and the unique characteristics of each hotel to link small adventures to significant global events. The work unfolds in seven parts, blending personal narrative with historical context.
