This is Home
Only 21,000 out of five million Syrian refugees have been accepted into the US since 2011. This is Home follows four families sent to resettle in Baltimore in 2016: they have just eight months to find jobs, learn English, and become self-sufficient. The clock starts right when they land. Despite good intentions, a vast cultural divide prevents the new arrivals and the Americans trying to help them from truly understanding each other. With much-needed empathy, filmmaker Alexandra Shiva reveals the inherent decency of a displaced community desperate for help within a country increasingly hostile to principles of inclusions and opportunity. Winner of the Audience Award: World Cinema Documentary at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
