From around the world and beyond, this collection of narrative short films tugs at the heartstings, bringing into question, "what is home?"

Alone in New York, Somali rideshare driver, Abdi, begins his nightshift with the news of a tragedy back home. The faces in the backseat change as he wrestles, unable to connect, with whether the unthinkable can be true—until a vision provides the clarity he seeks. Poetic and lyrical, Brooklyn Park is a modern-day immigrant tale that explores alienation, grief, and transcendence.
