Experiencing Interruptions?

Where Do We Go From Here (An Homage To Immigrants)

This music powered short film portrays 30 immigrants from all over the world (some came legally, some illegally) to show the beautiful variety and mindset foreigners bring to this country and how much they enrich this society.

The underlying song “Where Do We Go From Here” is a hypnotic song about leaving the comfort zone, going new ways and being true to yourself and your dreams - even and especially in hard times. It’s a song about personal growth, believing in yourself and allowing you to fail.

Who could be more perfect to tell stories about this subject than people who left their homes, their countries, their friends and families for a better future.
