NATIVE / ALIEN
As borders shift and countries collapse, immigrants travel the globe in search of old roots and new homes. 8 media artists explore what it means to be native, (resident) alien, an immigrant, or simply a citizen of the world. How does the new Anti-Immigration Bill affect the life of an Indian woman? Why was it better for some people to be born in former East Germany rather than West Germany? What are the thoughts of a Carribian immigrant when he first set foot on North America? How does one learn to be American, anyway? A group of children from South Kensington offer some surprising insights. You don't have to be an alien from another planet to want to watch this show. Coordinating Producers:
