The Visitor

I recently came across the 2007 movie, The Visitor.  This movie is a compelling story about an American college professor and a young immigrant couple who grapple with the treatment of immigrants and the legal process in post-9/11 America. A critically acclaimed film whose leading actor was nominated for an Academy Award, The Visitor puts a remarkably human face on the stark realities of our immigration system. Without having to say so, the film makes obvious why the current system needs immediate and sweeping reform.
