Collisions

Collisions is a thought-provoking film about our troubled immigration system. Many here don't realized that those of us who aren't descendants of slaves, are descendants of people fleeing other lands hundreds of years ago for reasons of violence or persecution in search of a better life. This story shows the difficult journey that many face today for the same reasons. Beautiful and natural acting, great and stark images contribute to a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. A must-see.

This is a beautiful story about a family's love and perseverance despite the shock, chaos, fear, and heartbreak of their family separation. But it is also a suspenseful road picture, an adventure with great cinematography, and a story of reconciliation, resilience, and redemption. The subject matter is very timely and controversial given the inhumane treatment of immigrant families in the news, but you are not hit over the head with preachy speeches about it. Instead, the story is primarily told through the eyes of the primary character, a 14 year old brilliant girl with her own hopes and dreams just reacting to her world turned upside down and doing everything she can to reunite her family. Another reviewer suggested we should stop humanizing people in these situations. I couldn't disagree more. Collisions is a great movie, but it should also be celebrated for reminding us all of our shared humanity and our responsibility to treat each other with empathy, compassion, and dignity.

A realistic view of the conditions large number of young people are experiencing today. through no fault of their own.

Wow, is it art imitating life or the other way around? This is a beautiful and compelling film that puts the humanity on the ICE/Immigrant situation! The film is so powerful because it puts faces and personalities on the statistics of how inhumane Trump's treatment of immigrants has been.

Bravo to this film for peeling back caricatures painted the xenophobic right wing Americans and giving us a look at the real human cost of such harsh immigration policies.

The film is beautifully shot, well-acted, accessible, and extremely poignant. If people don't respond to this story, they must be already dead.

It takes the issues head on and makes one realize that we are all people born into circumstances, whether good or bad, that we have no control over. This film makes us realize that the privileged are merely that way because of the way the dice rolled.

Kudos to the cast and crew for creating this timely and important message with goal of bringing ever more needed awareness to this issue.

Its very sad for the people involved but usa is entitled to set and enforce whatever border laws it wants. Not sure the point of the movie other than to show the struggle people go through but it didnt show anything new. Its fairly low budget, well acted and a perfect length. I dont live in Usa but wonder should there be more focus on the countries these people are are coming from rather than where they are trying to go.
