[@R3mProductions]

Hey ross. as a construction engineer that had to fight with mold myself i would suggest you following things (sorted by effectiveness): 1. get rid of those wet clothes in your flat, get a washing machine that has a drying function built into it. that will get you 70% of the way. (IMPORTANT: get a good brand and a model that is not older than 3 years. i had my fair share of experience with those dryer combos) 2. get the habit of opening ALL the windows twice or thrice a day for 5-10 minutes! and open the window of the room you use the most every 4 hours. you have to do this even after the mold problem is gone. some flats are just so poorly built that you have to do this to stop mold from growing. (even in winter !) 3. get an ELECTRIC dehumidifier. 4. clean the mold spots with some aggressive solution and a brush. let the solution soak in a few minutes. if you do these 4 steps i guarantee your mold problem will stop in the next few days. just keep on ventilating by opening the windows all the way multiple times a day (so often that it almost seems ridiculous) and letting the dehumidifier running at least 10 hours a day as long as you stay in that flat. and by the way, those black/green/brown spots on the outside of the buildings. those are algea and dirt. mold does not thrive in a well ventilated area like the outdoors. mold needs high humidity and darkness. also get a hygrometer and mount it on the spots where the mold was, about 50% humidity if ideal for the humans. never let it go above 60% or you will get mold on the walls.

[@whacklezz]

I live in Louisiana where the humidity never drops below 80%.

[@Accursed_Farms]

Thanks tremendously for all the support. I made this just hoping for some understanding from everybody while I go dark and it looks like I'm getting that in spades. I've abandoned the idea of staying here any longer than I have to and will be working towards simply getting out of here ASAP (and get a building inspector to look at my next place). I also have air filters since making that and am looking into a dehumidifier. This will take some time and I plan to minimize my computer usage until I have a clean environment, but I'll try to respond to all emails once I do. Thanks again!

[@Ronny1031]

What's important is your health. I hope you're able to find a new place soon!

[@tubros]

If you do not own the flat, get out as soon as you can. This will take a long time to cared for. I took me six months of work cutting away all mold infected wood in my bathroom and replacing it. If it is several buildings, there is a good chance the owner can't pay for it anyway.

[@alfoncejean8826]

has for an inspector I would not recommend most of them do a poor job mostly to cover their ass. get a few tools like a humidity sensor termometor , small scraper , good flash light (not the shity thing you showed us), random screwdriver and over small tools ... And do the inspection yourself. Basically fresh paint in only certain area are suspicious. Defenitely ave à good look in the duckworc if any ( you might need a small miror for this (dentist tools are a good idea)), check the rooms airflow (no tools required jut a humid finger), pay extra atention to the baseboard and any kind of corner ( having a mignifing lens might comme handy), depending on the tipe of wall removing a socket or two might be a good idea, last but not least pay extra atention to the window seals and their water evacuation system pour some water to check the flow if you have to. just some quick tip from my personal how to check out a new place .

Ross, it's not normal for inspectors to come to your apartment and effectively rule it unfit for *breathing* in. No wonder the clothes don't dry. It looks like you're right about the building as a whole, too. I think the source is in the walls of the building itself. I'd say I hope you can move soon, but I think the better word here is 'evacuate'. I'm sorry to hear everything got so difficult, please look after yourselves and have a doctor's checkup after you move out.

[@FlyntNukaOfficial]

I live in Arizona, and my middle school had something called the "forbidden stairway". It led into the basement, but because the summers were so hot and the janitors hardly cleaned it, mold and fungus would grow through the walls. Long story short, theres a wall where the door used to be. I

"I'm not an architectal exptert" Well I'm a soon to be construction engineer, and have my fair share on working on construction sites.

Good luck and greetigns from Germany.

[@muellcraft]

Plattenbau ftw

[@PiterburgCowboy]

Nono, this isn't Plattenbau, Plattenbau was build to last at least (they have no soul, but they still stand today). This is cheap drywall and very bad insulation made just from mineral wool. Hot in summer, cold in winter. You can't build cheaper than that. In autum and winter all the moist is going to be sucked into the insulation, you'd have to heat permanently to evaporate this untill summer. This is the best receipe for mold. Seems like this whole block was build this way, they'd need to rip off the drywalls and replace the whole insulation, nobody will pay for this. This block is doomed and bad for your health. I kind of feel pitty for the landlord, if he only bought a house in this block, he was ripped off too. Plattenbau has bad insulation too, but in a very different way. Edit: you can't have the "mystery hole" at 2:20 in a plattenbau. This was an electritian, who screwed a hole for either an outlett or a switch, made a mistake, and they didn't even bother to cover it up... Ross, move!

What do you think happened at Smolensk? President Kaczynsk was smart, he wasn't eating white sugar and used MMS so the mold couldn't get to his brain. Now Duda, he is all theirs, i mean look at his face, he probably is just a big mushroom, they all are. Why would the ministry of defence not buy chlorine bombs otherwise? Remember, chlorine kills them, allays keep a gas cylinder full of chlorine handy. Why don't they let you take chlorine gas to the planes? They control them and use them to spread chemtrails. You don't really need to be afraid of chemtrails if you take MMS regularly. It's just a bunch of spores and nuclear waste to feed them. That's why the radiation is higher on the plane. If you really need to fly, have a chlorinated water on hand, you can also crush pool chlorine tablets and put it in the toothpaste and in those coffee sugar packets, you may need it later.

Mold and electrical issues at the same time reeks very much of water, be it from rain or a leaking pipe, getting into the walls. That could turn out to be a massive problem with the building itself and likely wouldn't be done with a little renovation here and there. Ventilation may be bad, but I fear that the mold you see *on* the walls may only be the tip of the iceberg.

[@natalieobman5018]

[@SaintDaisley]

Yeah it looks and sounds like the inside of the walls is probably leaking and filled with mold for things to be that bad. The 'mystery hole' doesn't give me much confidence that the wall cavity is ok.

[@manictiger]

Welcome to Poland.

[@RingingResonance]

Yeah, could be that the rain caused the ground to shift and the buildings foundation is compromised causing the building to shift and your wall to crack leading to cracks in the roof and maybe even damaged piping in the walls or down lower in the foundation where the humidity from that is seeping up into your room. The possible foundation issues could also be causing the electrical problems but is most likely to be from water/humidity. In other words, move out ASAP, the building should probably be condemned like you said. Until then see if you can get a dehumidifier like others have mentioned and maybe an air filter. Also check your furnace/HVAC unit for that same mold if you have one, and use a good filter on it. That mold is likely very dangerous to your health.

[@ravenbh]

I am sure its been said in the comments but I'll say it too. The mold is most most likely starting in the wall/insulation. My best guess is around the window frame. If that is where its coming from, the only way to stop it is to break open the wall remove the mold and replace the insulation. The Bathroom with no light is another likely source. Humid conditions (Shower and washer) in a dark room is a prime location. If possible pull out your washer and look at/in the drain/ drain hose. If there is mold there then by washing your clothes you could be spreading it, it takes only one spore. As for your computer, I know you said you smelt around it but have you opened the case? Being an enclosed space with warm temps and a humid room spores may be being sucked up into it and blown out. Then there is the mold spot you showed. Only seeing a few spots clearly it looked to me like black mold. Though any mold can be harmful, If it is black mold it's deadly and VERY hard to get rid of. There is a few temporary measures you can do in the mean time. 1) Rent or borrow a few UV lamps and leave them on in the bedroom and bath for 24-48 hours. This wont kill the mold in the wall but will at least push it back. 2) if possible remove the drain hose from your washer and either replace it or drowned it in bleach. If that is not possible run a few sheets or other fabrics you no longer need 3 or 4 times with a good amount of bleach. Running CLR in the washer can work also. make sure to run clean water through a few cycles afterwards. 3) Open your computer case and look for any discoloration or rust. If there is take a rag and some rubbing alcohol and clean as much of the inside case as you can. Hit the areas you cant clean with the rag or If there is no discoloration, hit the inside with a can or two of compressed air and leave it open to light. Make sure there is no power going to the PC to avoid shock an in both cases get in the power supply with a few good shots of air. 4) Lastly go over the bathroom ceiling walls and corners with bleach and get any spots you see. Then cover the area with an oil base paint or clear coat. If that is not possible get a can or two of WD-40 or similar oil base product. Spray it into a rag and go over where the spots are/were, hit the corners and creases, then hits around your windows inner and outer edges and long that crack. The oil in the WD-40 makes it difficult for mold spore to stick and regrow. It should buy you a little time. Even if it is not black, mold of any kind can be hazardous. USE THAT MASK while doing ANY the above. If you dont you could breath the spores in your lungs it could be dangerous. If you are already having problems breathing or feeling ill you might wanna see a doctor. I worked in a trailer home where black mold was growing in/on the walls. It had already killed a dog and sent the tenant to the hospital. Lets just say that it was so bad the place was deemed a bio-hazard and we needed to end up tearing down the trailer so it's no joke. Hope this helps.

[@NateTheScot]

This was recently done to a neighbour and they had to completely move EVERYTHING (their entire lives) out of the place completely into storage basically, because all the walls and ceilings and some floors had to be ripped out to be re-insulated properly, and then everything rebuilt internally. Was an absolute nightmare and of course took months longer than predicted by the contractor, so they were out of there for over a full year. Luckily they had another place to stay during this time but most of their stuff still had to be kept in storage because there wasn't room. Utter chaos, all coz people wanted to skimp on using the proper materials in construction many years ago (at least in their case, dunno if it's the same with ross but seems likely).

[@SNOUPS4]

Maybe one of your neighbours is dead, and has been for months. Happened to my bro, once (not dying). On another note, the greenish "seepages" on the outside walls is something normal; I've had that on many houses, and none was infected inside; it's just the same as what you get on rocks: tiny lichen, algae, whatever, but usually not fungi.

[@natalieobman5018]

He described it as a musty smell. Rotting corpses aren't musty. That smell is very unique and unmistakable (eggy fart and fish that someone tried to mask with cheap perfume.

[@arsenii_yavorskyi]

okay, *serious advice* time: 0. realize that the mold WILL kill you if you don't get rid of it. 1. periodically treat the entirety of the interior with bleach, or with specialized chemicals. 2. use salt lamps to dry and sterilize the air itself. 3. don't dry clothes inside the apartment, hang them out the window, or - and this is preferable - buy a dryer (put it in the living room if you have to). 4. install additional active ventilation (shafts with fans). 5. if you can't afford this, launch crowdfunding campaign. 6. read other comments, there's some really good advice there.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Good god, Ross, that's horrible. Seems like the building either allowed pooled water to seep in from above from the rain, or it's infiltrating from the ground below, and it's soaking the concrete. Couple that with the bad ventilation you mentioned, and suddenly zombie-making mold. Depending on how much organic matter there was in the sand used for the mortar, it gets even worse. If a concerned person could look up when this building was constructed, and check if the date is still within the Polish law's legal warranty by the construction company responsible, that'd be amazing. Anyway, hope things work out and you're either able to leave this fungus farm or it gets repaired, brother. (Also, since you have no light in certain rooms, get a Wowtac A1 if you have Amazon coverage in Poland, the 20 dollars is worth it).

[@Wazgrel]

Stay strong man, hope everything works out real soon for you!

[@Raziberry]

So Ross is married to a cat, I take it.

[@EGeorgev]

He's been a secret furry all this time!

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

AH! WHAT'S THIS!?

[@lewisb1584]

[@chris7547]

really enjoying this episode of Ross's Mind

[@itaybron]

should've titled it all videos on mold.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Guys, get this man some donations, ASAP! He might not be able to do it until his residence papers clear, but this man clearly needs to move, sooner the better! Until then, let's at least keep that roof over his head and keep food in his mouth! I'm doing my part, now you do yours!

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

One step ahead of ya

[@Ddarkan]

Careful Ross. You have to protect that mind of yours. If you don't, who's going to make the movie?! D:

[@Shaymin00000]

You could make a Hotel Mario-style game out of this. You have to go around various apartment complexes turning off computers to stop the spread of mold spores, and if you don't do it fast enough, you pass out. In later levels you could add in mushroom zombies that go around and turn the computers back on.

[@Shaymin00000]

Also, sorry to hear about everything going on. It's good to hear that things are planned out. Hopefully the apartment admin and immigration office get back with you soon. (and if it comes to it, hopefully you find a new place that works out)

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Sounds more like you'd want a Luigi's Mansion kinda setup, with a big 'ol vaccum cleaner.

[@LambdaObjection]

Ross's building looking like Half Life 2

[@DJstarrfish]

City 17 is supposed to be somewhere in Eastern Europe, so that's not a surprise.

[@adenowirus]

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Ok so where is the new eastern europe? Russia?

[@grumpyturtle9682]

HASEnoncorperated+ As a matter of fact yes. Eastern Europe includes Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic states. Central Europe includes Poland, Germany, Austria and the Czech republic.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

Good luck and take your time, we fans will wait as much as you need.

[@uberknife]

Evacuate! Lay low with your buddy Eddy until he gets his contact to demolish the building, thus effectively terminating your lease without slapping you the fee. Eddy will do it too. He still owes you one after that disaster at the orphanage.

An actual, real, Lunar Base would probably be ideal about now... Sounds like you've got a plan of attack though so my only advice Ross is do what you gotta do, and my advice for all the fans to help support Ross through this would be to go rewatch old videos; They're just as fun now as when they first went live! :)

[@alfoncejean8826]

Pixelmusement if you have plan for a lunar basse I want in. haven't got any mold problem though, dose that matter

[@AlyxxTheRat]

Agreed on that!

[@Templayer]

Actually, I did see things like this ONCE in my life - in a building where BONE MEAL was used in the construction materials / plaster. Also the reason why bone meal is not used anymore in our land - it's a perfect home for fungi and crap.

[@hosermahbob]

I'm a Drywaller in Canada. I bet your ceiling & exterior walls have mould inside them. Perhaps there is no vapor barrier on exterior walls letting in moisture. I'd just move, There is no fixing it besides costly Renovations to redo the drywall & fix vapor barrier/insulation.

[@RufusMcTwigglefart]

hosermahbob Yeah, what ^he^ said.

[@DaffyRoth]

Ross....your ability to remain upbeat despite your situation is amazing. On another note, this feels like a creepypasta story /web series in the making. I do hope everything turns out all right though and you get everything resolved. I know I for one will be here when ya return.

[@tbone9474]

Please take care of yourself mate. We'll be there for when you get back.

[@collingreymane]

Ross's found footage movie finally came out!

[@YeomanArcher]

Hey, that might be a good Idea. Maybe Ross should do a vlog of just walking around the the town he lives in and talks about Polish stuff. Maybe a live action short series and actually work the mold crisis into a zombie horror survival story. Continue pigeon Hunter? I know he might hate this but maybe live stream let's plays of Fortnite and have superchat donations? Have clips of Ross's best jokes or outbursts with animated .gifs of Freeman's Mind as donation notification awards?

[@KingDomXY]

Honestly this is what I thought was happening when he talked about the bathroom lights

[@Olivman7]

Someone found that movie next to a human-shaped pile of mushrooms. We're not sure what happened to Ross.

[@plot6520]

[@matthayward7889]

Electric dehumidifier buddy, seriously. I got one and sorted out so many (similar) problems in my lean to. Will help clothes dry quicker too

[@Xagittarius_vods]

There's a magic in Ross' voice that I could just listen to him talk about the mold he found out for hours on end

[@MoleBradRy]

....damn it's like right when I figure a solution for you new problem. That permit thing really is a problem. And since it's Poland I don't know the laws or rights there. I can't think with US laws on this.

[@CybershamanX]

This puts his respiratory illness in perspective. Mold is no joke. It can cause lifetime problems. I've had a few run-ins with the nefarious fun-guys. :/ I hate to say it, but drying clothes in their house is probably making it an ideal environment for whatever the heck is growing in there. Certainly the changing weather isn't helping, either. I once had to deal with a landlord about a mold problem we were having at the time. TONS of mold in weird places. ( _Except_ my room which was always closed and had a PC running 24/7 which seemed to dry the air!) But, anyway, we just ended up moving. It would have taken months if not years of time in court to deal with landlord and even then it wasn't super clear if we would win or not. Man, what a rough spot for Ross to be in. :( Also, this video is like something out of a movie where they show people talking about some impending doom or something. :P

[@planescaped]

Yeah, drying his clothes out in the open in a room like that is very likely causing the mold to get a lot worse.

[@docholliday9058]

Poland is in EU, the common laws mandate that the household or at very least the landlord should take care of the issue ASAP. If he was in Germany, he would only be paying half the rent until it had been handled.

[@MateuszSkutnik]

Hey Ross, I dropped you an email, I live in the same town, maybe I could help with something? Dig through your pile of emails and find me. :D

[@alphaperseuse7230]

[@MateuszSkutnik]

[@GayIncel]

That's a creepy offer

[@devinstuff8240]

Offering to help someone in trouble is not creepy.

[@swiftjeff]

Is this mold coming through the walls it means there's a ton of mold behind the walls. The solution to that is to tear everything out and replace it, but the best thing to do is run from that building. I hope your paperwork comes through quickly.

[@StygianEmperor]

The Last of Us was the first thing I thought of when you said “the whole district.”

[@jmaitland5709]

Ok I'm only an architecture student at university, not a fully qualified architect, so don't take what I say as gospel, but from looking at the outside walls on your building it looks like the walls haven't been properly insulated against moisture. Normally with brick or block or concrete buildings the inside of the external wall is lined with waterproof sheets to stop water seeping in, and it looks like your building might have some gaps in between the waterproofing, so water is seeping in and then you've got lots of damp spaces literally inside the walls.

[@MaeBearheart]

I hope everything works out as quick as possible, Ross!

[@Qabra-]

Ross, if you need some extra revenue, try to film something easier like this video. We'll watch it

[@derkatwork33]

Qabra that’ll pay the bills. While I don’t know his economic situation or the cost of living in Poland, I doubt a few extra views will make or break a situation.

[@ManaLaDeDa]

I second this!

[@notkivic7060]

I 3rd it

[@LuigiVN]

it was pretty cool to see him walking around Poland and pointing things out. I’d certainly watch some Ross vlogs.

[@RandomPerson964]

That sounds like it would be harmful in the long run and not very effective to begin with. Considering this video has significantly fewer views than the vast majority of his other videos, and how persnickety KZbin is about having consistent, high quality uploads. KZbin wants consistent uploads with high view counts. Suddenly uploading less enticing-to-watch videos could affect his channel's performance in KZbin's algorithms that determine search results and your recommended videos. That is, assuming the video gets properly monetized anyway. A lot of videos get flagged for demonetization for absolutely not reason by a crappy AI, such as Ross's video chats. It could be 24 hours to several days before he actually gets any part of that pocket change. If you ever want to support a KZbinr, give them five bucks. Seriously, it's a lot more than they'll likely get out of you from ad dollars. CGP Grey made a video in which he says that on average, a view is worth a fourth of a cent. At that rate you'd have to watch 2,000 videos to equal the five bucks I recommended you donate. You can even buy merchandise if the person is selling any (I'm holding out for Ross to start selling some), or get a KZbin Red subscription, which I've heard KZbinrs say they get a proportionately large amount of income compared to ad-supported viewers. With that option, a portion of your $10/month subscription gets divided among the channels you watch based on how much you watch them and it's not affected by advertisers who don't want ads playing on a video of an ugly long-haired man talking to a camera. TL;DR Don't mine for views, instead give your favorite KZbinrs direct monetary compensation, even as little as a dollar, so we all can be independent of shitbag advertisers.

[@supersnow17]

I had a mini heart attack and thought you and your wife were having issues and you had to get another place of your own.

[@JohnDoe-vq9ck]

[@dragan2324]

That's what I thought when I saw domestic crisis too! I'm glad it isn't so, though.

[@ShowToddSomeLove]

[@theosb7271]

[@bkgrila]

To our relief, it turned out that he was merely trapped somewhere with dangerously unbreathable air. But seriously, we all hope you can get your residency officially taken care of so you both can get the heck out of that apartment. It sounds like the problem is so pervasive that it'll exist as long as those buildings stand. I wonder if it even contributed to your lingering illness a couple months back.

[@marcingajda]

Yes, she do

[@DLOFT002]

Sounds like your landlord needs to open up the middle walls and see if it's in the installation.

[@brock9380]

This, it might be due to a small leak somewhere and almost certainly due to improper ventilation. Issues like this don't tend to get better without fixing the moisture problem. Hang drying your clothes inside doesn't help, but I've been there and you have to do what you have to do. Mold can lead to really nasty health issues over time, so it's not something to take lightly.

[@allozaur2]

The immigration office is backed up due to the crisis in Ukraine. It's gonna take them a while to deal with that. As for affordability, stay away from big cities if possible. A ~70k population city is going to have faaaar cheaper housing than Warsaw (like, 60% lower), even if it's fairly close to the capital. Moreover, in a smaller city it's gonna be easier to find an apartment where the landlord won't care about a residence permit (especially since you're American, and older folks here still tend to view america as some kind of a utopian paradise inhabited solely by paragons of virtue).

[@arsenii_yavorskyi]

it's because of the visa-free access, not the war.

[@finipigenmovies]

Take your time Ross, better to take care of yourself and the whole situation, than to put your physical and mental health at risk.

[@finipigenmovies]

Please don't become a mushroom man Ross. D: And please don't let your wife become a mushroom woman! Worst case why not do another begathon, I know you hate it, but we care about you mushroom man, and like last time I bet we'll come and make sure you don't starve and that's at least one less problem to worry about, till you're on your feet again. If nothing else. We know you'll come back. Gonna miss you. Ps. You guys always have a place in Denmark to crash at.

[@johnhio1843]

The streaks on the outside of the building are pretty common due to rain and weather in general. It does look like a problem with ventilation which is something they should try and fix asap. It might start local but once it spread into the walls etc., it becomes and entirely different beast. Few years back a construction firm in my vicinity where forced to tear down about a dozen completely new houses due to mold. Its not healthy to breathe in the spores (or damp stagnant air) and its something thats taken very seriously... by most =D.

[@rudolfhess1855]

Buy a small (thus lower cost) house in a "remote" area (thus also lower cost; "remote" meaning far away from any town or city), instead of looking for a new apartment.

[@valcliffb8558]

[@FlymanMS]

Time to don your HEV suit Ross, and don't forget the helmet!

[@oneofmanyparadoxfans5447]

Management always forgets the helmet.

[@viliussmproductions]

Could be screwed completely. If it's a renovated old commieblock, I heard the insulation can worsen ventilation and mold starts growing in the walls themselves. Even if you scrape everything it will be back after some time. This is what happens when you use "temporary housing" for 50+ years. Not sure if this is the case and I'm not too knowledgeable about this, just saying. Best of luck to you Ross.

[@Zyll666]

Yes, you are right. I know this part of the city and these are all mostly "renovated commieblocks". Small world, huh?

[@fressfisch]

Drying your cloth indoor is a problem, there's washing machines with integrated dryers. Also look behind all furniture that is close to exterior walls and make sure its rear-ventilated. There should be at least 25mm between the wall and the back panel (with IKEA's paper back panels that might still not be enough as they tend to sag).

[@AerodeonThorne]

Why is it that Ross can talk about the most serious, dire things and his voice still makes me happy.

[@zwete]

First tip, get a dehumidifier, it hurries up drying clothes too.

The current polish government doesn't like immigrants very much, to put it lightly.

[@Madrawn]

German here. My entire society is collapsing? You sure you're not getting played by the media? I mean we got more refugees but we always were a place with a lot of immigration for the last few decades. I never experienced anything negative and don't know anyone got beat up or something. They're mostly families with children. Besides the few occurrences the media reports for clicks, crime rate is going down according to statistics. So, it's not cheap and not ideal but not the downfall of our society.

[@handsomebrick]

"Not cheap and not ideal" would be an understated way of describing the situation in Germany during the high Turk immigration period of the 60s and 70s, I can't even imagine the problems they're getting now.

[@HiSodiumContent]

The problems they're getting now is that the media is demonizing these immigrants and refugees to the point that a lot of them can't find work. Couple that with ISIS recruiters offering them something to do, and you have a self-perpetuating problem. Disingenuous politicians play on fear tactics to garner support from the masses, knowing that immigration and refugees are a hot topic, when a lot of the stuff they (immigrants and refugees) are accused of is a lot of hot air. These are people who want to work and be integrated in the communities they are trying to move to. When they realize that the locals reject them solely based on their citizenship status, those ISIS recruiters become a lot more convincing. These people are trying to get away from the bullshit, but bigots and liars are forcing them right back into it. In conclusion, quit being dicks. They're people, not problems, and when everyone starts treating them like humans instead of villains and outcasts they'll become happy, productive members of the country they are in.

It definitely has this kind of " found footage" vibe, with all the talk about mold and hand-held camera.
