Overview
"Survivor's Guide to Diaspora is an autobiographical documentary series that follows the filmmaker's endeavors as a new immigrant in the US. Told directly to the audience as honest advice one rarely gets before moving in search of a better life, the series unveils life's absurdities as this woman from the Balkans attempts to understand the consumer capitalistic society that now grinds her. The screened thesis project is the pilot episode of a series that will serve as a proof of concept for future development and funding." -- Abstract
