There were so many things that were touched upon, so many prejudices Muslims and people of colour go through that were captured perfectly. I love that we got to see the struggles of what home and America means through the lens of a child. We follow Jude, a young Syrian refugee who moves to the US with her mother, leaving home due to the civil unrest, trying to navigate life in America. This story perfectly depicts what it is like to be an immigrant, to have parents who are immigrants, the difficulty of assimilating into a society that strongly believes you don’t belong.
