This shorts collection contains immigration stories. One immigration story does not represent all. The story of how one might come to live in place in which they were not born might be very different from another's story. What’s important is that we are willing and able to learn about the life journeys of other young people so we can remove the walls to empathy and understanding and find just and humane solutions beyond borders.
For Ages 11-14 | 67 minutes | Presented in English, nonverbal, and original languages with English subtitles
Themes: Understanding differences, inclusion, immigration/immigration process, hopes and dreams, identity, first generation experiences
This program contains: Content Warning: Separation/loss, physical and/or emotional conflict
