Crossing Over (2009)
“Crossing over” este o drama despre lupta unor imigranti ilegali de diferite nationalitati de a obtine statut legal in Los Angeles-ul secolului XXI, abordand teme spinoase precum securizarea granitelor Statelor Unite ale Americii, problema terorismului, falsificarea de documente oficiale, incercarea disperata de a procura cartea verde sau dreptul de azilant, naturalizarea, locurile de munca la negru sau ciocnirea dintre culturi.
Imigranti din toate colturile lumii se revarsa zi de zi ca un fluviu in interiorul orasului Los Angeles, animati de speranta ca vor avea un trai mai indestulat decat in tarile lor de origine, dar fara sa aiba nici cea mai vaga notiune despre pretul pe care trebuia sa-l plateasca pentru a-si implini Visul American. Tentativele lor disperate de a supravietui si de a se integra in societate pun la incercare umanitatea ofiterilor de la Biroul de Imigrari, unul dintre acesti functionari pe nume Max Brogan (Harrison Ford) incercand sa ajute o femeie sa isi regaseasca copilul.

Summary: Max Brogan (Harrison Ford) is an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent (ICE) with a dangerous flaw – he has a heart and sympathy for the very people he must track down and deport. His partner, Iranian-American Hamid (Cliff Curtis) awaits his father’s naturalization ceremony and appears dedicated to his job only to prove to his family how important it is to be American. As the duo runs routine busts on illegal immigrants, several other stories are revealed a defense lawyer (Ashley Judd) negotiates for a new family for an orphaned child and must also orchestrate the deportation method of a family whose 15-year old daughter is accused of having ties to terrorism; a young Jewish man (Jim Sturgess) tries to use his unpracticed religion to secure a job; and Cole Frankel (Ray Liotta) uses his position as a green card approval supervisor to force a beautiful Australian model (Alice Eve) into some compromising positions.
