My favorite movie is "Coming To America" by Eddie Murphy.  The story catalogued the journey of a prince in a new country in search of a bride and the struggles he endured to find Lisa. 

The documentary are also stories of immigrants who came to this country without anything, but worked hard to built prosperous lives for they and their children. This is the story of America where there are possibilities for anyone who work hard, respect the laws and are driven for success.
