- Summary
-
Brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee persecution at home in Guatemala and journey north, through Mexico and on to the United States, with the dream of starting a new life. It's a story that happens every day, but until Gregory Nava's groundbreaking El norte (The North), the personal travails of immigrants crossing the border to America had never been shown in the movies with such urgent humanism. A work of social realism imbued with dreamlike imagery, El norte is a lovingly rendered, heartbreaking story of hope and survival, which critic Roger Ebert called Grapes of wrath for our time

- Summary
-
"WONG SINSAANG is a lyrical portrait of the filmmaker's father, a proprietor of a dry cleaning business in Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighborhood. The filmmaker's attempt to understand his father's life and those who immigrated to America in search of a better life are contrasted with a study of the grinding lifestyle of the dry cleaner's everyday life. The film juxtaposes stark glimpses of the laundromat as obnoxious white customers subject Mr. Wong to daily humiliation and dehumanization, against serene scenes of Mr. Wong practicing tai-chi outdoors. The director's own confusion over his own father's seeming subservience gives way to a realization that his father has much larger dreams for himself and his family"--New Day Films website
