A documentary film following what some American news outlets had dubbed the "Somali invasion" of Lewiston, Maine - an insulated, mainly white mill town. The Mayor sends an open letter to the 1,100 newly-arrived Somali refugees, saying the city's resources are strained to the limit and asking them to tell other Somalis not to move there. It provokes both pro-and anti-immigrant rallies.
