## Resource

In this episode we tackle Richard Linlater’s 1995 film Before Sunrise. We talk about how Luciana tried to reenact as many scenes as possible in her own life, Claudia has a gripe with Celine carrying a backpack all day, and why the listening booth and the failure to brush away Celine’s hair are the best moments in the movie. And as always, we share our favorite multicultural moments and pieces of culture depicted in the movie. WATCH on YouTube! REACH OUT: Send us your questions to: WhereWeLandPod@gmail.com.

ABOUT THE HOSTS: Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time. The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
