“It is always wonderful to feel inspired by hearing people’s real stories in film or in person. It helps you feel connected with others.”

“I learned about the incredible strength these immigrants have demonstrated and relied on when they came here."
“[I learned] the struggle to accept immigrants is still present despite the long historical efforts to fight anti-immigrant values and policies.”
