The Immigrants

3 Episodes

The journeys of immigrants and refugees are ever-urgent stories of hope, courage, struggle, and survival that dramatize the search for a better life in an often hostile new land. Including richly evocative stories about coming to America such as Charlie Chaplin’s THE IMMIGRANT, groundbreaking looks at the plights of undocumented migrants who risk everything in pursuit of the American Dream like ¡ALAMBRISTA!, and hard-hitting portraits of life on the margins of Europe like the Dardenne brothers’ breakthrough LA PROMESSE and the explosive LA HAINE, the films spotlighted here look beyond the borders that divide us to illuminate our common humanity.
