These films are every bit as good as anything that has come out of Hollywood in the past 50 years. They show how things affect very ordinary people in everyday ways. The films expose audiences to new ideas about old issues. But they also deal with universal themes that anyone can relate to, regardless of cultural background or personal bias. But the stories are universal.
Love stories are universal.
Growing up and not knowing who you are and rediscovering your roots, that's universal. And that's one of the great things about students having access to this on campus. They can come see these films that are in another language that take place in a much different part of the world and see reflections of their own lives.
