A documentary about immigrant integration in America’s heartland, "Welcome to Shelbyville" takes an intimate look at a southern Tennessee town as its residents — whites and African Americans, recently arrived Somalis and Latinos who came a decade earlier — grapple with their beliefs, their histories, and their evolving ways of life. Set as Obama is elected and the economy is collapsing, it is a tremendously powerful film about race, immigration, and America. “Welcome to Shelbyville” was directed and produced by Kim A. Snyder, and executive produced by BeCause Foundation in association with Active Voice.
