SYNOPSIS We are all descendants of migrants if we look deep into our roots. We all belong to a place, but that place doesn’t belong to us. This is the conclusion actor Alex O’Dogherty reaches as he continues the research his father began into the history of their family name. Not all descendants of migrants are treated equally, it depends on where they come from and the color of their skin. Alex tries to know who he is by tracing where he comes from, only to realize that he is a little bit from everywhere.
