Brown chronicles life through the immigrant point of view: the reality of being defined by skin color in an instant. It highlights and personalizes the subcultures and shadow economies where outsiders of all kinds make a living. Due to the historic influx of refugees and illegal immigrants, many western countries, including America, are seeing the growth of nationalism and fear of the “outsider” people, even those who are escaping war, extreme poverty and natural disasters. Brown attempts to humanize the immigrant while the viewer witness his life experience for a couple hours.
