International students in America
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
－Martin Luther King.Jr
Background
We are different individuals, but are the same group in the United States.
Those international students who chose to come to the United States have a variety of reasons for coming and dreams to striving for. “Study abroad” is a kind of experience, also a way of life. Some of students want to stay in America after graduating; some of them would like to return home. But in the U.S., their experiences allow them to group together.
There are more than 20 people talking about their feeling and thoughts. I made over 300 hours recording from these talking, and spent three months summer break to cut into the 20mins long film. Some of these people in the film are back to China, some are still in America. Both of them are fighting for their dreams.
