The emotional and political tug-of-war that erupted in Lewiston, Maine after the arrival of many Somali immigrants is extraordinarily well represented in this riveting documentary. As an audience member, I could feel and understand the fear, confusion, hatred and hope that was expressed by the various members of the community. The story is heart-wrenching and yet uplifting, and I love that there's no narrator telling me what to think - each person speaks for him/herself as the story is stitched together dramatically, powerfully, beautifully. Seeing this documentary forces me to accept that we still have a long way to go before prejudice is eliminated from our country, however the people of Lewiston also reminded me that we are a nation of generous, caring, and sincere people who regularly open our arms to others. In the wake of 9-11, I hope that everyone will see this film and commit themselves to being as welcoming of immigrants as the good people of Lewiston have been.
