These films capture the immigrant experience with real specificity and heart. The Farewell has a Chinese-American woman saying goodbye to her dying grandmother, Minari has a Korean-American family starting a farm in rural Arkansas, and Brooklyn has a young Irish woman choosing between two lives. The Namesake, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, El Norte, Moscow on the Hudson and The Godfather Part II round out the eight.
