International Institute of MN | Support for New Americans
This social impact story follows a refugee who fled Congo as a young child and spent 22 years in a refugee camp in Rwanda before resettling in Minnesota with support from the International Institute of Minnesota. The film traces his path from arrival — met at the airport by a caseworker he'd never seen but who already knew his story — through finding housing, completing his CNA training, and ultimately becoming a U.S. citizen. It also speaks to the Institute's expanded staffing and legal support work amid recent shifts in immigration policy, underscoring what citizenship means for security, opportunity, and belonging.
