The Story

“Crossing Over” is a multi-character canvas 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.

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.
