Foreigners

Synopsis

Foreigners is an animated documentary about foreigners who live in London. The film, which is based on interviews with ten young people from all over the world who live in the city, pieces together vignettes from multiple points of view that reveal London as an international metropolis which is both exciting and alienating. The interviews suggest a fresh look on contemporary English culture, and raise more fundamental questions about cultural differences and human nature.
