First-Gen Immigrant Filmmakers Are Redefining the American Family Onscreen


First-Gen Immigrant Filmmakers Are Redefining the American Family Onscreen
Films like ‘Minari’ and ‘Farewell Amor’ counter the steely, back-breaking myth of the American dream with the soft, flexible salve of self-determination, self-acceptance, and self-care.

Westport, Conn. is the 19th richest community in America. It’s where some of my middle school and junior high classmates lived and it’s where my Jamaican grandma cleaned homes for years. I attended countless birthday parties and sleepovers in the same neighborhood where I would accompany my mom’s mom on the job when mine was away at her own. I preoccupied myself with books and schoolwork as she scrubbed, sponged, mopped, and polished interiors that dwarfed our six-person family’s three-bedroom apartment in Bridgeport. All of this was a slice of my so-called American life, my normal. ....

‘Farewell Amor’ Is A Moving Tale Of An African Immigrant Family Reconnecting After Years Of Separation

Actually we hear it twice, and with great warmth, from a woman, Esther (Zainab Jah), who, arriving from Africa with her school-age daughter, Sylvia (Jayme Lawson), is met by Walter (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine), the husband and father they haven’t seen since he left for America 17 years before.
