Each film depicts in unique and compelling ways the immigrant experience. Some are Oscar winners and others are just amazing films. It's quite a diverse bunch and I highly recommend watching them all. This time I excluded documentaries but I'll post a list just for that genre in the future. In the coming weeks I will discuss the films and elaborate on their contribution to the immigration debate. For now, feel free to disagree (or agree). Discuss the picks and let me know what you think.
