And the Pursuit of Happiness
Documentary
In 1986, Louis Malle (himself a transplant to the United States) set out to investigate the ever-widening range of immigrant experience in America. Interviewing a variety of newcomers — from teachers to astronauts to doctors — in communities from coast to coast, Malle paints a humane portrait of their individual struggles in an increasingly polyglot nation.
VIBE
A thoughtful, humanistic look at the immigrant experience. It feels like sitting down with strangers, hearing their stories, and reflecting on the universal search for belonging and a better life in a new land.
