<p>Exploring the human realities of immigration through the intertwined stories of three nurses from Ghana, India, and the Philippines who build new lives as healthcare workers in the U.S., A LONG WAY TO GO reveals the emotional, economic, and cultural complexities of living between worlds while maintaining deep transnational ties. By situating their personal experiences within the broader dynamics of the global healthcare system—where high-income countries rely on internationally educated professionals to combat shortages—the film examines the opportunities and ethical tensions inherent in this migration. Amidst current immigration policy debates and strained healthcare systems, filmmaker (and two-time GlobeDocs alum) Carolyn Jones prioritizes human experience over policy rhetoric, offering an urgent perspective on borders, belonging, and global interdependence.&nbsp;</p>
