Award: Student Research Grant
Abstract: The Giving Hands is a documentary about immigration. About the people who come from all around the world in order to call the United States their home. Throughout the documentary, there will be interviewees giving their take on immigrating to the United States and on all the trials and tribulations that they went through. Stories are told from the people who live in the shadows of United State Citizens. People who share nothing but the raw truth of how their journey went mentally and physically. Dramatic, heartwarming, and emotional are just a few words to describe this journey to the United States. Embark with me on the quest, the way, and the travel to reach the American Dream.
