This film will be perfect in order to be conscious about immigrant's conditions and their rights because many of them sometimes are beaten on the Los Angeles' streets.
I like this new film because it display something that's really happening in this epoch, this is the type of situation a lot of people live day by day in different places. the central message is mind-blowing.
It is very nice that this film shows how people are working on controlling asylum and green card process and naturalization in USA because illegal immigration has become a major social problem.
Both movies take Human rights and cultural problems to make understand what is the reality for millions of people under conservative islamic goverments!!
I watch this movie i think is very good and i defenetely recomend it thanks for sharing this with all of us very interesting.
