"The kids were allowed to take a video camera home with them one weekend and told to document their life," said Miller. "They usually came back with some really interesting stuff. I think it helped them to gain insight into their families and their own place in that family."

The students, who moved to the U.S. from countries including Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Vietnam, Russia and India, captured families, friends, environments and aspects of their culture from their own perspective.
