Young Dubliner Alan Cooke reflects on
recently immigrating to New York City. Exploring such universal themes
as nostalgia, the journey and the concept of home, the film includes
interviews with immigrants, native New Yorkers, and a host of prominent
New Yorkers. David Amram, Armand DiMele, Pete Hamill, Elaine Kaufman,
Fran Lebowitz, Frank and Malachy McCourt, Alfred Molina, Mike Myers,
Liam Neeson, Drew Nieporent, Rosie Perez, Colin Quinn, and Susan
Sarandon all share their great love for the city they call home. Home
is a timely film that reaches the heart of the city and its people
today.

“It makes New York
look as fascinating as the most buoyant immigrant would always have
dreamed.” David Hinckley, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"With more than one of every three of our residents hailing from
foreign lands, it's only fitting that a movie about the idea of “home”
would be set in the Big Apple.” Michael R. Bloomberg, MAYOR
