Maine and Somalia lie at opposite ends of the world yet are connected by tenuous threads of memory that span the distance between.
HOME COUNTRY tells the story of the Somali diaspora in a small New England city a decade after resettlement in the United States. As one young man and his community find their voice in the American political arena, they feel the pull of their home country as it strives towards a more peaceful future.
