Two Syrian brothers in their mid-20's take a leap of faith and decide to start their lives from scratch in new cities. They leave everything behind except their passion for life, determination, sense of humor, and hope for a better future.

Their closest cousin, Wissam, decided to film their odysseys for over five years, questioning the true meaning of home, bringing back some childhood memories, while exploring the human ability to cope with change as radical as it may be.

Global Media Makers (GMM), an international mentoring exchange partnership between Film Independent and the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is pleased to present this screening of We Are From There. The film was supported by GMM through Film Independent's 2018 film development residency.
