I just got a hold of this trailer, courtesy of our friends over at Stuck between a DREAM and reality.
At first glance, it seems Crossing over sets out to do for the immigration debate what Crash did for race relations. That is, providing a safe space for discussion. The arduous and complicated conversations about legal and illegal, freedom and sovereignty, racist pigs and anchor babies can now be centered around one fact we can all agree on: Harrison Ford is the sexiest man alive. He plays the ICE agent with a heart, as immigrants of all colors seek a path to legalization in Los Angeles.
I'm curious to see what kind of public reaction the film gets, and how many nativists boycott Indiana Jones from here on out. Also, I wonder what would happen if someone (say me for example) jumped the holding fence and sneaked into the premiere. They have to let me stay, right?
Anyway, the release date is not set yet, but I'm gonna try to report from the premiere. Hopefully MGM and the Weinstein Co. bring it to Westwood.
DREAM Act!

It'd be awesome if you did that! And..
Harrison Ford is the sexiest man alive
Can't argue with that. Except if you go back 30 years :P. He's too old for you, Matias.
It might be worth checking out this movie.
There’s another movie coming out next year called “Amexicano”. The story is that of a nascent friendship between an Italian American and a Mexican day laborer. It looks like a more romanticized story of a man who against his own prejudices learns that undocumented immigrants are not what he thinks. I know someone who worked on this movie, so I will be watching it for sure. I’ll report back when I see it :)
