A nice collection of international voices in Syracuse. The story unfolds smoothly enough in the first minute, but it seems like the issue of politics is bluntly introduced -- maybe the writing in this section could use some work. But the voices carry the piece the rest of the way through. A highlight is the comparison of U.S. government to Ghanaian government.
Immigrants contrasting American and other democracies makes for a thoughtful example of seeing the inside more clearly from the outside. The multi-colored "voice of the people" would make for a good drop-in under the canopy of Who's Democracy Is it? - (nice embedded moment about how some Ghanians get their news..)
