Touching documentary on complex & diverse immigrant experiences

Absolutely loved this documentary chronicling the lives of these 4 students immigrating to the US to attend MIT. So many themes of belonging, evolution of identity and completing obligations to US vs Africa resonated with me, which I believe will resonate with many immigrants from other geographical regions studying in the US. I highly recommend this documentary as standard screening for colleges across the US. Immigrants from Africa have been studying at US institutions for decades, it's refreshing to finally watch a documentary that clearly represents this experience in this touching documentary.
