WELCOME (2009) B

Foreign, French

Good movie about refugees from present day eastern Europe attempting to get into England. (Remember when the Jews walked across Europe in the late 1800's to immigrate to the United States).

The narrative of this movie deals with a young Kurdish refugee trying to cross the English Channel, to reunite with his girlfriend in England, and a French swim instructor who attempts to help him.

ENTRE NOS (2009) B

Foreign; Spanish

Unrelenting pain. Deadly sad story. 

From Netflix: Inspired by true events, Paola Mendoza and Gloria La Morte's deeply-personal family drama follows one devoted mother's quest to provide for her two beloved children after being abandoned in a strange new land. 

Columbia native Mariana (Mendoza) and her two children have just arrived in Queens, NY to be with her husband when he announces he'll be leaving for Miami and they're not welcome to join him. She is left to fend for herself, and her two young children in an unfamiliar city and no friends. Before long, Mariana has found a way to make some money through recycling, and her 10 year old son has stepped up to the task of becoming both father and brother to his impressionable young sister.
