Welcome 2009

I went into this movie expecting it to be very predictable and the typical migrant story. While welcome isn't necessarily ground-breaking, it does a good job of dramatizing the plight of refugees and showing how they are perceived by the people around them. Bilal is a 17 year old who hopes to cross the English channel to reunite with his girlfriend, as difficult as the task seems and he's determined to make it no matter the obstacles he faces. Although the story is slightly predictable, you do root for him to make it and the ending does catch you by surprise. Watch this if you want something though-provoking but easy to watch.
