All 100 pairs of white eyes turned and stared at me like I had committed an outstanding crime. I peeped “Is this the community service meeting?” A slow and shaky head nod confirmed my suspicion. Taking my cold, hard, metal seat, the presentation resumed. While sitting there on the cold hard metal seat, my mind began to race. The nerves soon overtook my mind and I contemplated

Fukunaga intertwines the lives of Sayra – a young Honduran immigrant looking to reach the United States – and Willy – a Mexican gangster whose cognitive understanding of community has shattered and turned into his worst nightmare. The result is a potent exposition of the effects of globalization on transnational interactions, community identity, and urban space. Paired with Zilberg’s ethnographic study of Maras and Marreros across borders, Sin Nombre suggests that forced trans-nationality and the associated

The close knit community and respect between them are also apparent in the dialogue between two Slavic women, a Muslim and her Catholic neighbor. Being aware of the war and the inter-ethnic hatred, they reassure that “What ever happens, we’ll drink coffee together…as we
