WELCOME TO THE WORLD is a daring film about a troubled man who records a video message for his pregnant sister. Taking place on the brink of a new life, this compelling film explores what it means to be human and the courage it takes to be fully alive. Drawing its power and immediacy from its first-person, confessional style, WELCOME TO THE WORLD presents, in real time, the journey of one man's awakening from isolation back to humanity.
