The Visitor - [official site][IMDB listing]
The Visitor is an excellent film about the dilemmas of being a political refugee who lives as an illegal immigrant in the USA. It is about a man played brilliantly by Richard Jenkins, who befriends a street musician and his girlfriend, who are political refugees in the USA living under the radar. This ordinary man shares their helplessness in the legal system as the musician is held in jail with no representation. The audience becomes increasingly aware of the plight of illegal immigrants in the USA.
