The wonderful Dr. Renee Botta speaking on a project I was a part of long ago that has evolved into a social enterprise and is changing lives!:

A documentary about a school whose mission makes my heart beat hard: "A Place In The World is a feature-length documentary about a small charter school called "The International Community School" (ICS). The school takes on an issue that plagues many communities: what to do for the refugee and immigrant populations whose children are falling behind in traditional public schools.

The school is comprised of about half refugee children and half local American children."
