Watching the film, "The Other Side of Immigration", I was very interested in the stories of the immigrants and non-immigrants. It was my second time watching it because i watched before in my freshman FYE class. I didn't really pay attention when we had to watch in class but, when i watched it this time i did pay attention. It was really interesting to watch and to hear what they think. The main thing that got me was the fact that they said when people come back that they don't tell them the whole story and that they don't they don't tell them about how hard it is and the struggles they go through to achieve their new found wealth. I just find that a little bit odd in a sense but, a little bit understandable because they probably just don't want to scare them.
I found this movie interesting too, and I was just as surprised when they mentioned that fact, I would like to know why, I also found it interesting when they described what life is like in Mexico for the people in rural towns; I had never considered that factor before.
