Your Story on Screen

Just about every U.S. immigrant has her or his own story to tell.  Your story may be about difficulty adjusting to a different culture or about someone who has helped make life easier.  Your story can be happy or a bit sad.  A group of talented people have come together to collect stories from average Americans who are immigrants or children of immigrants.

The project is known as "Choosing America," and its located at http://www.choosingamerica.com/.   Here, you can find out how to send your story, which can be from 1500 to 4000 words (roughly 2 to 6 pages long).  Then, the group in charge will choose some stories to turn into films and will produce a documentary about the authors.  According to the website, the authors will be able to keep the copyright to their work.

So, put your experience on paper and others may see your immigration story on screen.  Good luck!
