In America |
Nominated for three Academy Awards, In America is the story of a modern-day Irish family who crosses the Canadian border to settle in New York City in search of their American dreams. While it may not be wealth and success that they find, there is a neighbor who gives them friendship and helps them to finally attain peace. Writer / director Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father, 1993, and My Left Foot, 1989) needed to look no further than his own childhood for inspiration for this film.
Year Released: 2003
