waiting for mother's day

SYNOPSIS

The IRC reached out to us with an extraordinary story we knew would make for a compelling short film. ABurmese refugee named Tha fled her homeland nine years ago with her daughters, finding a new home in Baltimore. Complex paperwork issues forced Tha's six-year-old son, Venson, to remain in Burma. For nine grueling years, she, along with the IRC, tirelessly strived to reunite her family. Finally, the long-awaited day arrived - Venson was coming to America, and we were priviledged to document this poignant moment for Tha and the IRC community.
