Through the voices of ten young people living in Berlin, Germany and New York, USA,
Where are you 'from' from? highlights the insight of young people from immigrant families in two societies struggling with migration, national identity and racism. Residing on different continents but sharing similar questions and experiences, the interviewees reflect on their families’ immigration process, growing up with multiple cultures, and how they see themselves today. The video is a tool to lead discussions on complex identities, the impact of immigration, and many forms of racism, in the context of both societies’ increasing diversity.
Both the film and accompanying discussion guide have been created especially for use with high schools students, in university classrooms, and in community settings.
