This collection of nine short films tells the stories of immigrants within the Park Slope community, focusing on both the joys and challenges they have experienced as immigrants coming to America from all over the world.

Third graders at PS 107 interviewed friends, family members, and community members about their experiences immigrating to the U.S. The work began with the broad question: “How can we teach our community about the range of immigrant experiences?.” The students developed their own interview questions and independently conducted their interviews in small groups.  Then, students storyboarded short, 3–6-minute documentaries to tell the stories of the immigrants they spoke with.

These short films are a window into some of the experiences of immigrants in our community, as well as the perspectives of two professionals from Make the Road New York, who spoke with the students about their work advocating for immigrants here in New York City.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the organization Make The Road New York (MTRNY), a 501c3 organization, dedicated to building the power of immigrant and working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice. All donations up to $2000 will be matched by a generous PS 107 family. Please click here to make an additional donation.
