Entre nos (2009)

Shortly after she totes her two children from Colombia to reunite with her husband in Queens, New York, Mariana's (Paola Mendoza) life is devastatingly turned around when he abandons her to fend for herself in a hard-knock new country. Mariana desperately searches for work against the unwieldy city landscape, but she and her kids can't help their treacherous slide into homelessness. Struggling to build a network of allies, like Preet (Sarita Choudury) a single working mother, to help provide for her family, Mariana resourcefully navigates a surprising avenue for making some money—the city's recycling. With the help of her 10-year-old son, who must come of age early to keep his family together, and her young daughter's charm, the family joins forces to face the odds together.

Basing Entre nos on true events, Paola Mendoza and Gloria La Morte collaboratively deliver a touching narrative marked by sympathetic characters, reflective cinematography, and solid performances. They bring a certain newness to the now-familiar immigrant story, and what shines through most is the graceful ferocity with which mother and children fight for their right to create a foundation, however shaky, from which to begin the promise of the American Dream.

Exceptionally well made and moving film. Based on a true story, Paola Mendoza not only starred in and directed this feature, but it's based on her own experience as a little girl. That is, she plays her own mother in the movie!

Thanks for finding this, FAA!

This was in Forthcoming Releases, I am moving it to REL. IMDB says it's a US film, but it's entirely in Spanish with Colombian directors, though it was filmed in the US. clan-sudamerica.net decided it should be classified as Colombia so I will do the same (with a pointer to it in the US forum.) Maybe I will change my mind after seeing it.

I don't have it yet, but clan-sudamerica.net says it has hard English subs.

Thanks, sounds interesting

I know the trailer's been posted already but I honestly, having seen the movie twice already, didn't think that one did the movie justice. This one gives you a better idea of the quality of this film. And in case you were wondering, the daughter is simply precious
