Bridging Worlds: The Story of Better Together
As international students arrive at the University of Mississippi, they face challenges like culture shock and homesickness. This documentary revolves around Better Together: an organization that unites American students and international students who are navigating the challenges of studying abroad by creating programs that provide them with support and companionship to overcome barriers and build bridges between both cultures.
