The film plays like an educational film shown at school, regardless, the movie is a gripping tale of a family torn apart by careless policies, told in a positive light. Go to Full Review

Kelly B 10/15/2024 Deeply moving film about our broken immigration system—very well done; highly recommend See more Ana Sofia P 05/03/2024 Deeply moving story of an American family struggling under the enormous weight of our broken immigration system. Well acted and entertaining but also offering a needed perspective on what needs to change if we want to have a truly humane and fair immigration system. You'll root for everyone in the movie! See more SANDRA B 04/23/2024 The movie was a very good experience. The reality of the experience was amazing to see how realistic it was. It brings in a compelling way how an immigration detention upends a family’s lives affecting not only the illegal persons but the American citizens. This movie was spectacular and made realize the importance of promoting fairness in the enforcement of immigration laws and in the creation of fair laws due to the human factor. See more Joan Marie G 04/02/2024 What an emotional and instructive ride! If you want to understand both the simplicity (as naturally nomadic beings) and the complexity (as humans who live in lawful systems) of immigration, this is a must-watch. No matter where or why you stand, and what your role in society is, this tells beautiful and inspiring stories of diverse families and heroes all over the world. See more Carlos A 04/02/2024 AMERICA'S FAMILY sheds a light on what an undocumented immigrant family goes through when deportation tears them apart. It displays a raw and heartfelt look at a situation that many people do not understand, and the effects it could have on a family. See more Maritza R 04/02/2024 I really enjoyed the film as it depicts a perfect example of what a true immigrant family looks like. It also demostrates how broken and inhumane our immigration system can be. Unfortunately we don't see many of these type of fims out and I would love to see more. It empowers me to get more involved with these issues within my community. See more Read all reviews
