A wonderful real life story of young boys and girls learning at a high school in Denver Colorado to become residents of the United States. It is heart warming and touching to hear of the horrors they have lived thru in their young lives. Their bravery and that of their families is to be commended. Thru it one can imagine what our own ancestors went thru when they immigrated.
