Immigrate Stories - Short Documentary (In production)
This short documentary is about all types of immigrate stories. I want tell all types of stories and all kinds of reasons for coming to the USA to from all kids of people. Young and old, personal stories about what it was like to adjust to America and what they miss, if anything, about their home country. Many times issues like immigration become so polarized and political we forget that we are talking about people's lives. I'd like to connect the issue to real people and make it personal.
