America Becoming (1991)
Looks at the United States as it becomes an increasingly diverse nation. Tracing the history of significant changes in the Immigration and Nationality Act beginning in 1965, this program introduces a dramatic vision of a multi-cultural America where people of color are the new majority. The feelings and stories of ordinary people are featured in everyday context in six cities across the county. Interviews with residents of Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Miami and several other places probe the changing relationships between newcomers and established residents.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
