If You Become My Friend
If You Become My Friend captures the first-hand stories of some our new Afghan neighbors. These stories capture the diversity of the Afghan languages and cultures, as well as experiences. Although no two stories are the same, we found a common theme of human beings having to make the painful decision to leaving behind everything they have ever known: their country, their homes, their jobs, their families, and their friends.
