Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers. In Crossing Over, writer-director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find – and create -- in 21st century L.A.
Crossing Over is a Crime, Drama film released in 2009.
27 subtitle releases available in English. 19 releases include Hearing Impaired (HI) subtitles.

498
00:36:22,538 --> 00:36:26,065
"but we heard it.
For the first time, we heard it. "
499
00:36:26,142 --> 00:36:29,339
I was just saying that
they got our attention ...
500
00:36:29,412 --> 00:36:31,642
and that maybe
we should understand ...
501
00:36:31,714 --> 00:36:34,148
why they did what they did. That's all.
502
00:36:34,217 --> 00:36:36,412
So if someone's pissed off at America ...
503
00:36:36,486 --> 00:36:38,954
they should hijack and fly planes
into our buildings.
504
00:36:39,021 --> 00:36:40,682
That seems like
a reasonable thing to do.
505
00:36:40,757 --> 00:36:44,853
Agent Phadkar, over here.
506
00:36:44,927 --> 00:36:46,622
Take a look at this.
507
00:36:46,696 --> 00:36:49,426
She has a World of Islam account.
508
00:36:49,499 --> 00:36:52,627
She's been frequenting
some interesting chatrooms.
509
00:36:52,702 --> 00:36:54,465
Global Jihad ...
510
00:36:54,537 --> 00:36:57,472
Jihad Talking Points.
511
00:36:57,540 --> 00:36:59,974
I'm interested in all
Muslim points of view.
512
00:37:00,042 --> 00:37:02,033
It keeps me informed.
513
00:37:02,111 --> 00:37:06,707
Taslima, your parents are
in the United States illegally.
514
00:37:06,783 --> 00:37:10,275
My brother and sister were born here.
515
00:37:10,353 --> 00:37:11,650
They're American citizens.
516
00:37:11,721 --> 00:37:13,916
True.
517
00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:15,719
But you and your parents are not.
518
00:37:15,792 --> 00:37:19,057
When your brother and sister
reach the age of 21 ...
519
00:37:19,128 --> 00:37:22,655
they're entitled to petition
for your parents to enter this country.
520
00:37:22,732 --> 00:37:25,064
Until then, your family has no status.
521
00:37:26,235 --> 00:37:28,931
Listen to me, Taslima.
522
00:37:29,005 --> 00:37:31,405
Here's what I'm willing to do for you.
523
00:37:31,474 --> 00:37:33,965
I'm not interested
in detaining your family.
524
00:37:34,043 --> 00:37:37,479
But I'd like to talk to you further.
525
00:37:37,547 --> 00:37:39,913
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
has every right ...
526
00:37:39,982 --> 00:37:42,177
to take your family into custody ...
527
00:37:42,251 --> 00:37:44,879
but if you leave with us now
and cooperate with us ...
528
00:37:44,954 --> 00:37:46,945
Immigration won't detain them.
529
00:37:47,023 --> 00:37:48,820
They'll still
have to resolve their status ...
530
00:37:48,891 --> 00:37:51,359
but nobody's looking to make
an issue of that right now.
531
00:37:51,427 --> 00:37:53,657
You understand?
532
00:38:21,157 --> 00:38:23,751
Mr. Max, welcome to my home.
533
00:38:23,826 --> 00:38:26,693
- Thank you.
- You honor me with your presence tonight.
534
00:38:26,762 --> 00:38:28,662
- Thank you.
- This is my wife.
535
00:38:28,731 --> 00:38:30,255
Very nice to meet you. Welcome.
536
00:38:30,333 --> 00:38:32,096
Thank you. You have a beautiful home.
537
00:38:32,168 --> 00:38:33,601
Thank you.
538
00:38:33,669 --> 00:38:35,660
Congratulations, sir,
on your naturalization.
539
00:38:35,738 --> 00:38:37,365
Thank you. Farid.
540
00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:42,508
Come over here. Come and meet
an important gentleman.
541
00:38:42,578 --> 00:38:44,978
- He's my youngest son. He's a lawyer.
- Ah.
542
00:38:45,047 --> 00:38:47,072
- How are you?
- How do you do?
543
00:38:47,149 --> 00:38:50,243
- It's a pleasure.
- Hi. How are you?
544
00:38:50,319 --> 00:38:53,288
This is Max. He is the partner of Hamid.
545
00:38:53,356 --> 00:38:56,052
You show him the respect,
or he will have you deported.
546
00:38:57,827 --> 00:39:00,193
He can't deport me, Baba.
I've already been naturalized.
547
00:39:00,263 --> 00:39:02,197
You're the only person in this house
who can be deported.
548
00:39:02,265 --> 00:39:04,756
Until Saturday.
Then he becomes one of us.
549
00:39:06,202 --> 00:39:08,898
I'm gonna go put her down.
It was good to meet you.
550
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:10,370
- Thank you.
- Okay, come on.
551
00:39:13,042 --> 00:39:16,409
Hey, Max, I'm so glad
you made it tonight.
552
00:39:16,479 --> 00:39:18,071
I really appreciate it.
553
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:19,842
Get you a drink?
554
00:39:19,916 --> 00:39:21,281
Yeah, Scotch rocks, please.
555
00:39:32,495 --> 00:39:35,225
Hey, guys, what are you doing?
556
00:39:39,569 --> 00:39:41,264
Inside.
557
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,136
My sister should not
have come here tonight.
558
00:39:45,207 --> 00:39:46,367
What's going on there?
559
00:39:46,442 --> 00:39:48,706
She puts herself before the family.
560
00:39:48,778 --> 00:39:51,713
She shouldn't expect
to be welcome around here.
561
00:39:51,781 --> 00:39:54,011
Baba.
562
00:39:56,485 --> 00:39:59,977
So, Max. Hamid speaks so highly of you.
563
00:40:00,056 --> 00:40:02,354
He looks up to you.
564
00:40:02,425 --> 00:40:05,223
Never understood why he join
