The Pendatang Cometh #4: Identity

Walking down the streets of New York or San Francisco, you might hear five different languages in fifteen minutes, each with different dialect inflections, most spoken by Americans. What happens when you throw a bunch of very different peoples and cultures into a melting pot and tell them to live the American dream? Find out on the concluding episode of The Pendatang Cometh, an exploration of immigration as seen through the landscape of the USA. This episode was originally broadcasted on 27th October 2015.
