We document and connect with the individuals and communities that are transforming Atlanta into a global metropolis, such as heritage and immigrant communities, foreign-born residents in a variety of professional fields, and thought and community leaders and various professionals engaged in the global community. We document everyday contributions and journeys through a podcast series, documentary film, digital archives, writing, and research and public presentations.
