New Movies About Immigration

• "Crossing Over" an ensemble melodrama about undocumented individuals in Los Angeles
• "Sugar" quiet story of a Dominican baseball player in the minor leagues in Iowa
  
• Cary Fukunaga’s “Sin Nombre,” which combines elements of a chase movie, a gangster flick and a tragic western with the specific plight of Central American immigrants making their way across the Mexican countryside toward the United States border.
  
• Alex Rivera’s “Sleep Dealer” which was shown at Sundance last year, is a science fiction parable set in a near-future Mexico, where concepts of migration and labor mobility are reinvented by cutting-edge technology.
