These films capture the immigrant experience with real specificity and heart, finding universal truths in the search for a new home. In The Godfather Part II (1974): A young Sicilian immigrant builds a criminal empire in New York, intercut with his son’s troubled inheritance of it. Another standout is El Norte (1983): Two Guatemalan siblings flee political violence and undertake a dangerous journey to the United States.
