Description
CC's Amnesty International student group presents a thought-provoking documentary film screening, followed by a discussion. "The New Americans" is a video module that tells the stories of three families from Mexico and Nigeria, and through them, illustrates the common hopes and particular challenges of immigrant families and their children. With diverse cultures intermingling in many U.S. communities, the need for greater understanding and bridge building becomes more urgent.
