"Strangers in Town provides a powerful and moving antidote to the histrionics that so often drown out reasonable dialogue about immigration in these turbulent times."

"Strangers in Town is a must see! It is a timely film that spotlights an immigrant community in an unlikely place in the U.S. The film shows how members of this diverse community live peacefully with each other, which can be a model for all of us."

"There’s an honesty about the film that is hard to come by these days. It is very personable and human in its scope. It confronts a complex topic with tact and sensitivity, without falling into the trap of tokenism. Hearing and seeing the young people talk of their own experiences in their own words is a powerful thing!"

"The film is so timely, illustrating the real faces of immigration. It gave the students a great window into the motivation of immigrants as they make great sacrifices for their families, and it offered a positive illustration of how a community can accommodate and benefit from the rich diversity that different cultures add to the flavor and nuances of a city."

"The film is very well-produced, and it offers a poignant window into that extraordinary mini-world somewhere in Kansas. I was particularly moved by the extended narratives by a couple of the young people."

"What a wonderful film! The stories are so touching, the filming is extraordinary, and the message is very important for our country. I did not know this about Garden City and am so impressed. This is a masterful piece
of work."
