Few films make such a powerful impact on one's understanding of what constitutes the modern immigrant experience as does Mémoires d'immigrés. Yamina Benguigi's powerful and revelatory film is structured around a series of interviews with North African immigrants, with rare archive footage of French official policy towards its immigrant subjects and the conditions they had to endure. A compelling film and a cry to remember those who are so often forgotten, it will stay with viewers for a long time.
