My Semester Abroad in Chile

Solitude: A Chile Documentary The short film we have produced aims to showcase the perspectives of students who studied abroad in Santiago, Chile this semester asking them "Why they studied abroad" and their plans "after". We used their responses to guide our writing of the film. The question "Why abroad?" hoped to gain responses that suggested personal growth, change or enlightenment as we explain that study abroad is not always what one expects. It is not always so loud and glamorous, it is also quiet, "melancholy" and lonely. This loneliness, actually becomes our greatest teacher and companion.
