Documentary filmmaker and engineer Arthur Musah joins host Michael Azevedo on this episode. Arthur is director of "Brief Tender Light," which will be broadcast as part of the POV series on PBS on January 15. Check your local listings for times.

 

"Brief Tender Light" follows the lives of five African-born MIT students, including the director himself, who were driven to study in the U.S. and create change at home.

 

Even as their dreams are anchored in the societies they left, their daily realities are defined by America. Each must refine their ideas about the world and about themselves, and ultimately, how to transform youthful ideals into action as adults.
