Amreeka (2009)

Amreeka details the life of a mother and son as they emigrate from Palestine to the USA. It's a lovely story of resilience and pride, but at the same time it is formulaic and at times too predictable. It tries to teach about immigrant hardships more than it tries to tell a story I think. The most affecting parts of the film focus on the relationship between the son and his mother.
