Short Synopsis:	Pop star in exile Ivan Dorn’s latest creative endeavor, Foreign Roots, is a provocative and emotional short film that follows a disparate group of migrants fleeing unknown circumstances. Aboard a crowded bus, strangers become companions —dancing, sharing food, and lifting each other’s spirits as they outmaneuver the authorities on their journey toward an uncertain but hopeful future. Poignant and deeply human, the film is a testament to our shared capacity for emotion—terror, despair, humor, and hope. The bus becomes a potent symbol of migration’s enduring role in history. After all, movement, displacement, and migration have shaped us all. At some point, someone in every family has taken this ride. Foreign Roots is a searing critique of borders and the dehumanization of immigrants, as well as a bold rallying call for migrants everywhere.
