Far From Home a film by Rachel Tsutsumi -- "While busing is a rapidly fading memory in most American schools, it continues to be a reality for over 3,000 Boston students every year. Kandice is one of them, an African-American teenager who has been bused to a predominantly white suburb since kindergarten. In this revealing documentary Kandice takes us inside her triumphs, struggles and conflicted feelings about traversing these two worlds. She also reveals her family's long history of integrated education and activism." ---Cover
