Frenchman Malle’s own time in the U.S. informs this clear-eyed documentary, a work of great sympathy and curiosity. His interviews with immigrants from Thailand, India, Vietnam, and beyond form a kaleidoscopic portrait of the American melting pot, and new citizens’ perpetual struggle to maintain cultural identity in the face of assimilation.

*Due to an issue with the print, we will be screening the film on DCP and not on 16mm as previously announced.
