The Letter: An American Town and the 'Somali Invasion' (2003)
Culture Clash
28 March 2004 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
"The Letter" is a great documentary about what happens when two cultures try to merge. A New England town striving to maintain its way of life gets upset when a large group of Somalians move in looking for a new beginning. Lewiston is divided about accepting these new people. Within the political structure of Lewiston the mayor has written a letter against these outsiders moving into his town. The situation is magnified by the press. Racial tensions surface. Separatist groups arrive to speak out against the Somalians. "The Letter" does not take sides but rather shows us through interviews with the opposing groups the difficulties some have in accepting others.
