The International Students: Life After Graduation documentary short follows six international students as they pursue their work and passions in the years after graduating from U of T. The individual stories weave together to show the common experiences, including challenges and triumphs, of stepping into the world after university. Members of the University of Toronto community are invited to join us for the premiere screenings of the documentary short, which is intended to share what life after graduation looks like. Some of the students from the documentary will be participating in a moderated panel after each screening and will discuss some of their post-production thoughts as they reflect on their experiences.
