This documentary captures the personal stories of struggle and challenge for refugees and immigrants living in Oregon. Refugee and immigrants are often forced out of their countries due to war, poverty and political instability in hopes that the United States will provide them a safe haven. New challenges and unforeseen difficulties of equality, race and discrimination arise when new arrivals reach the states. This film brings awareness around these issues and offers new perspectives on how we can all improve the communities we live in by working together.
