On the evening of March 5th, I attended a screening of the 2006 film Man Push Cart. The film’s director Ramin Bahrani was in attendance and presented some of the methods through which he filmed the starkly funded movie and the event met the campus requirement. The movie follows a man who emigrated from Pakistan and now works at a cart in New York City to sell breakfast items. His day is laborious as he struggles to not only make ends meet but find a way of living life in a way that may actually be enjoyed. The movie takes a rare perspective, not turning back to hide the brutality of working minimum wage in a country that you come to with the bare minimum already. In my class on women authors of the U.S., one topic that we tackled was the what life was like entering a new country in hopes of a better life and survival, and how that move brings up obstacles on every side. When considering international workings, it’s significant to consider what assistance may be applied to new immigrants and refugees as they enter a foreign workforce, one where they may be taken advantage of depending upon their familiarity with the rules, and also try to establish a new place for themselves and their families to live.
