Crossing Over
Every day thousands of people illegally cross our borders... only one thing stands in their way. America.
Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers. This film explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find—and create—in 21st century Los Angeles.

Interesting movie in that it portrays many stories of immigrants wanting a greencard. Harrison Ford plays an immigration official with a humanitarian heart, who tries to help people who are illegal in the U.S. Some of the stories are heart wrenching, and most of their stories do not end well. It shows the complexities of immigration, the choices people make, and how strict the U.S. can be. An intersting story wast he Korean teenager, and the social forces that shape his worldview. Worth watching.Excellent - Kocolate
This movies gives you a perception of the immigrant's side of how difficult it is to become a legal resident in America. We take so much for granted being citizens of such a great country -- yet there are people dying to get here. This movie should make you count your Blessings!! Also Harrison Ford (as usual)gives a sterling performance!!A Sobering Tale - 0930tracey
While it wasn't the best movie I've seen, it was definately eye-opening. The performances were superb and the storyline was intense. So much of these issues are going on everywhere and yet we don't hear about them. I liked the way the different stories were all intertwined and came to a head at the end. It's worth a watch.
