More on Crossing Over
Description from Wikipedia:
Crossing Over is a film about immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles. The film deals with the border, document fraud, the asylum and green card process, work-site enforcement, naturalization, the office of counter terrorism and the clash of cultures. Crossing Over was written and directed by Wayne Kramer, himself an immigrant from South Africa. Wayne Kramer is editing it alongside Frank Marshall. The movie was filmed on location in Los Angeles in 2007.
The film was originally planned to have an Iranian character kill his sister in an honor killing, but the National Iranian American Council opposed this, saying that it was unrealistic and offensive, and it was removed.
