Each year, nearly one million people from all over the world become American citizens. Who are these new Americans, and why do they want to live here? Award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi takes a journey to find out the answers in this uplifting and illuminating look at the naturalization process in America. Beginning with the swearing-in ceremony of her own Dutch-born husband, Pelosi criss-crosses the U.S. to meet new citizens and speak with some notable first-generation Americans, including Madeleine Albright, Arianna Huffington, Henry Kissinger and Gene Simmons.
