I AM JULIA follows Julia16-year-old student who recently migrated from Colombia. Now attending an inner city high school, she finds herself as a fish out of water.

Longing her home country, she bemoans her situation with her sister Diana during lunch hours while they eat inside the girl's bathroom, hiding from the bullies.
