Cross Section of attendees at the Opening


In THIS AMERICA, an African comes to New York for a short vacation. Before he settles down to enjoy the good times of New York City, things happen rather too quickly in Nigeria, forcing him to stay back in New York caught between starting life afresh and going back to his top-Executive pleasures in Nigeria at the risk of his life, he reluctantly begins considering to settle in New York City. However, the experience of his cousin who has lived in New York for more than 15 years without succeeding in his many attempts to get the US green card, gives him an insight of what he is bound to encounter as an immigrant in New York. Left with no choice, he attempts to make a living in New York City but his encounters make him wonder about this America for between his gun packing and violent neighbors, mistaken arrests by the Police and his domestically abusive wife who also packs a gun like a gangster, he was in for a true culture shock...  - Written by Oliver O. Mbamara (Screenplay by Bethels Agomuoh)
