'Time Will Tell' is a poetic glimpse into the lives of international students in America. Three students speak in their mother tongues about their journey to the United States, and share anecdotes about their loved ones who were left behind. Though each one of them is emotionally connected to their home country, the decision to move back is not going to be an easy one. Using extreme close-ups, animation, and three different languages, the film invites the viewer into a uniquely personal audio-visual space. The poetry recited by the subjects was originally written in English by the Kashmiri-American poet Agha Shahid Ali. Thousands of people cross the American border for education and work opportunities every year, and they are often looked at with suspicion or contempt. Dewan's film performs the crucial task of giving us a peak into the painful experience of leaving home.
