Abstract
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.
Peter Muvunyi is from Kigali, Rwanda, in East Africa. His journey as a Documentary Filmmaker has been a profound exploration of narratives and human experiences. Working with diverse groups such as genocide survivors, marginalized communities, and medically fragile individuals to amplify their stories, Peter hopes to use his skills to tell stories that resonate and inspire people, raise awareness, and influence positive change and policy in his community through storytelling.
