Movie Review: In America

I borrowed a movie called "In America" from the library and watched it today. It is an excellent story. A story of an Irish family coming to America illegally in search of the American Dream. I am not happy about the number of immigrants coming into our country illegally, but having said that, when you watch this story, it shows us how a family can be drawn by the dream for a better life for themselves. There are obstacles, there are happy times, there are sad times. This movie really touched my heart. You may wish to see it yourself.

From the back of the box:

From Academy Award nominee Jim Sheridan comes this deeply personal and poignant tale of a poor Irish family searching for better life in America. Through the eyes of their daughters, two anguished parents find hope and the ability to once again believe in love and magic...even amidst the dangers of New York's harrowing Hell's Kitchen. With mesmerizing performances by Samantha Morton and Djimon Hounsou, In America is "a classic" you will never forget.
