IDST 190 Individual Film Blurb - Group 15: Èxito en El Norte- Enrique's Success

The scene where Enrique comes home from work and tells his hypothetical wife Emily and children that he has been promoted and receives a dinner celebration is a critical scene. This scene was created to portray the success that immigrants strive to achieve upon arriving and integrating in the U.S. and aimed to highlight that success and belonging is attainable and well deserved. In the film we included the book La Frontera to address the struggle that immigrants face when integrating into the U.S., and the article The New Mestiza Nation from class lecture to highlight the mixing of cultures that is present in America
