As the child of an immigrant and then an immigrant myself, I cried like a baby at the end of the movie, then cried some more reading this piece. Echoing Pam’s comment above lol

the immigration aspect of this movie is so heartbreakingly accurate. it feels like a ‘this is who i am and where i belong’ moment that you can’t shake off despite what could’ve been. loved reading your article!
