Something Like Home

Summary
It is a story about four people who lived in Syria but got forced to escape from their hometown. All of them struggles with the language they speak in the new place they live now, and strongly feels that language is a tool not to be isolated, learn habits and natures. Language was the most difficult barrier for them to overcome.

Meaning of the title
All the people who got interviewed escaped from their own nationality, hometown. They are trying their best to live in the new place as if it were their hometown by getting over the language barriers.

Theme
War destroys everything. The people who escaped from the war have to suffer from the inconvenience of not being able to communicate with the new community. Language is the best tool to get real relationships,friends. People who are suffering from those problems doesn’t want to learn a new language, they need to, they have to learn it in order to live their life.

Problem and solution
As watching the film, I thought even though they are forced to learn a new language for their life, there are not enough teachers or whoever teaches new language to them. For solving this problem I think, we should use the Internet. It is hard to connect people by mouth, but we could do it easily by texting. Maybe an simple app could be a one solution for it.
