The Visitor (2007) Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins) is a lonely economics professor in Connecticut. His life is changed forever - and for the better - when he finds a couple of undocumented immigrants, who happen to be living in his New York apartment.
God Grew Tired of Us (2006) Won the jury prize and audience award for U.S. documentaries at Sundance 2006. The film follows three Sudanese boys, refugees from Sudan's bloody civil war, as they try to adjust to life in the U.S. Coming from unspeakable conditions, young witnesses of unspeakable horrors, their honesty and goodness is unquestionable. And so the question raised is, "What conditions create a civilized society?"
Under the Same Moon (2007) Heartwarming story about a mother who leaves Mexico to make a home for herself and her son (Adrian Alonso). When the boy's grandmother dies, leaving him alone, he sets off on his own to find his mother (Kate del Castillo).
