Hudson has hundreds of Bangladeshi-American residents, and six of them are featured here attending Hudson High. Geoffrey Hug and Zuzka Kurtz created the documentary. Hug said it, "took a little work to build the trust, because they are a pretty insular community that hasn't opened up like this before." The film was earlier featured in the DTLA film festival in California and the Big Apple Film Festival in Manhattan. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
