SYNOPSIS:

Bridging Borders is an observational documentary TV series that celebrates inspirational stories. The series kicks off by shadowing an esteemed faith-based organization specializing in facilitating private sponsorships and connections between willing sponsors and refugees from overseas. Our cameras capture the poignant moments, starting with the initial meeting at the airport as the refugees finally arrive, a day laden with anticipation and emotion for all involved. We delve into the newcomers' personal histories and the arduous journeys that have brought them to this point.In the ensuing days and weeks, we witness the sponsors' unwavering dedication as they strive to meet the refugees' immediate needs and introduce them to the essentials of life in their new home. This period can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. Private sponsors shoulder the responsibility of helping the newly arrived refugees adapt and achieve independence within their first year, fostering a profound cross-cultural relationship that often extends far beyond that initial period.
