Migration, Mobility, and Sojourning in Cross-Cultural Films: Interculturing Cinema

This book uses an intercultural communication lens to analyze six cross-cultural films and their depictions of migration, mobility, and the resulting intercultural communications. It argues that the results of these complex and stressful moments of conflict include personal growth, oppression, familial or social separation, and loss of identity.
