Rain in a Dry Land Sahara Misbehaving

RAIN IN A DRY LAND is a verité feature documentary chronicling two years in the lives of two Somali Bantu families as they journey from Africa to America. It is a story of time travel, culture shock, a leap from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century as these subsistence farmers find themselves in a mysterious and confusing land. More importantly, it is an intimate, human story about two extraordinary families who somehow managed to keep their spirits intact through years of mayhem and deprivation, and whose astonishing, open-hearted resilience enables them to make a new life.

are you a prince? god that was lame, i don't think he understood what he meant though.

[AnticDispossession]

the mother is right.

American culture is only show business, people need roots.

OMG...i can't believe the americans actually falled for the whole prince joke...Man, he had evn no clue about they were sayin..!!!

That guy at the end, does what any typical American teenager would do when he sees a camera... He starts acting all "cool" and stuff, like a tough-ass. USA culture makes kids think that being a part of "TVmedia" is what is important in life. I'm sure the Prince's values are quite different. Culture IS VERY important, as "tough-ass" has shown us here.
