Description

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we are revisiting one of our favorite themes: Great Mother Characters (our third installment). In this episode, we are highlighting immigrant mothers with three powerful and inspiring films. 

• We start with the epic tale of generational courage, trauma, and perseverance in the 1993 classic Joy Luck Club. 
• Second, an underrated gem that highlights the incredible sacrifice of immigrant mothers in Under the Same Moon. 
• Finally, Irene Dunne’s Academy Award-nominated performance as Martha in the heartwarming classic, I Remember Mama. 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers out there. Let us know what you think of these great films and what your go-to Mother's Day movie is.
