"The Other Side of Immigration"
I was curious about watching this movie because it isn't everyday that you hear the immigration story about the people emigrating. I was really pleased with how the movie was done, and it helped to open my eyes on issues of immigration from a different perspective. I personally, don't have a strong stance on immigration, and I'm not proud of that because it is an important part of understanding life, quite frankly. I would like to familiarize myself with more policies and opinions etc- and this class is great for that! This movie has given me a lot to think about and some food for thought for our upcoming final assignment, and for understanding all sides to immigration. I would recommend the movie to future classes. I really liked it, thanks!

Immigration
This post is long overdue, but a while back I went and saw the movie on immigration that Dean had mentioned to us, I forgot the name of the movie(sorry Dean!) but the movie was incredible. It captured the struggle and desire of immigrants in this country fighting for the opportunity to have the same chances and life that citizens have. It also shows the closed minded people that try to prevent immigrants from having that life. I understand that everyone has their own opinion on immigration, and to be honest I'm not even 100% sure of what mine is, but by seeing this movie my eyes were opened and it made me question how I view immigration. The panel after the movie was interesting as well. Some of the audience members had some interesting views on immigration and their personal immigration stories. Overall, the experience was a pleasant surprise, I'm not sure what I was expecting but the movie and panel after surpassed what expectations I did have. I would recommend the movie to everyone.
