Synopsis
"Home and Away" is a stylish documentary that examines the “brain-gain” immigration to the U.S, the life trajectories of professors, physicians, filmmakers, engineers, and social entrepreneurs, who came to this country from various countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. The film chronicles the individual journeys of “global citizens” and the multiple ways in which they reflect on and understand their life choices. Stylized interviews are interlaced with modern dance pieces that comment on themes such as home, dislocation, alienation, nostalgia, and hope.
