Plot

This film began as a lighthearted comedy and then halfway through, became a rather indignant documentary. While shooting the comedy with Nigerian college student and actor Paul Okpokam, who plays a whimsical innocent abroad (i.e., a foreigner in America), Okpokam was deported for participating in a student demonstration. The director chose to finish his film by documenting what he felt was an unjust action of the State Department.
