Customer Reviews
Convicting
An emotionally moving personal look at what it feels like to live in America as a stranger. This remarkable documentary is challenging me to actively find ways to live out the faith I profess. This movie is easy to watch, and it will make you want to do something to be a part of the life of an immigrant. I want to see it again, and share it with everyone I know. Love your neighbor.
Important as it is Interesting
