Ce film comporte de nombreux thèmes. Utilisez-le pour entreprendre un module d’étude sur la Chine. Demandez aux élèves de repérer la Chine sur une carte. Invitez-les à effectuer une recherche sur le violon chinois et, si l’intérêt s’en fait sentir, sur des instruments d’autres pays. Fabriquez des instruments et organisez une prestation musicale. Les élèves plus âgés peuvent discuter de l’expérience de l’immigration et du droit des immigrants à un logement et à un emploi convenables, ainsi qu’à la sécurité.
