THIS IS HOME follows four families resettling in Baltimore. They are among the lucky few Syrian refugees accepted into the USA since 2011. The families will have eight months to find jobs, learn English and become self-sufficient. Despite best intentions, a vast cultural divide prevents the new arrivals and the Americans trying to help them from truly understanding one another. The film reveals the inherent decency of a displaced community desperate for help within a country increasingly hostile to principles of inclusion and opportunity.
