I originally became interested in this because i remembered a news article about that the actor Shelley Malil (In the movie he is the father of the girl that gets deported with her mother for being a "terrorist") received life in prison for the attempted murder of his girlfriend, and this was his last movie. I know its kind of a weird way to find a movie you want to watch, but there it is.

This movie has a very powerful cast of different people. They play the roles of Mexican, Korean, Palestinian, Israeli, Australian and Persian. And they all have one goal in mind: to become an American citizen and live the American dream. They all have their own way of getting there, and while some succeed, some also fail. Their stories interweave and connect with each other.

Personally i would never move to the USA, but i can see the appeal for people in third world countries that the USA has. The question is: what would you sacrifice to become an American citizen? And what would you sacrifice in order to give your loved ones a fighting change in the land of "endless opportunities"? This movie tries to answer those questions, and in my opinion did that very well.
