Why I Made
This Film
I wanted to ask people how they felt about this country right now, and I was most intrigued by the answers of my neighbors who were born abroad. They challenged my assumptions, and their strength and beauty inspired me.
“It does not flinch from the beauty or the darkness of the American immigrant experience.”— Letterboxd
