This was a beautiful movie and even though it is fictional there was so much truth in it. The struggle all immigrants face when coming to America is still happening. The system has not improved. They come with a dream only to find that it is even more difficult to be accepted. This is the never ending story for all who continue to come here and the story is so relevant even today because it never changes. Not since the conquerors first arrived. They killed off the native americans and then subsequently made it tortuous for all of the new arrivals from Europe, Asia, Africa, and now Central America. It never had to be this way.
