"Imported from China" is a half-hour documentary film that follows
individuals from China who are navigating college life in the U.S. The
film follows several Chinese international students who are grappling
with finding a place in American universities and within the larger
U.S. context. The recent large influx of Chinese students at U.S.
universities has reignited the conversation about the growing need for
intercultural competence. The film is a snapshot of this demographic
shift, and demonstrates how relationships are nurtured and shaped across
cultural boundaries.
The screening of the film will be followed
by a facilitated discussion during which members of the UW community
and students from China will have an opportunity to share their
experiences.
