Synopsis
When we encounter people from other societies or cultures, we may fail to understand them for many reasons, including differences in language, values, gestures, emotional expression, norms, rituals, rules, expectations, family background, and life experiences. This extraordinary documentary shows that cross-cultural communication can be successful if we manage to understand the powerful differences that separate people who come from differing cultures.
