Offering a nuanced and transformative take on immigration, multiculturalism, and America's role on the global stage, The Newcomers practices and displays on the lives of 22 immigrant teens throughout the span of their 2015-2016 university time at Denver's South SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Unfamiliar with American culture or the English language, the students range from the age range of 14 to 19 and come from nations fighting drought, famine, or war. Many come straight from refugee camps, and some arrive only, having still left or lost almost every other person in their family. Their tales are poignant and tremendous, and at the center of their blended story is Mr. Williams: the dedicated and endlessly resourceful instructor of their English Language Acquisition course - a course which was created specifically on their behalf and that will provide them with the foundation they have to face the great challenges of adapting to life in America.
