I feel that the Golden Venture brought a lot of insight about how much people want to immigrate to America and how difficult it is to become an American citizen. It really makes me grateful being born a US citizen for not having to go through the troubles that all the people in the Golden Venture had to go through. I especially felt bad for those who have attempted to come to US more than once and failed.  They would have had to go through the tough times on multiple occasions, but it really shows how great it must be to be an American citizen. I have not been a citizen of any other country, so it’s a little difficult to fully understand why they all try so hard to come to America. This movie, however, shows how much people would like to be in the same place that I am in today. The movie also showed how hospitable some Americans can really be. I was really surprised to the fact that a family let random strangers into their house when the immigrants just arrived in America. There were also those protestors and the people that assisted all of the passengers of the Golden Ventures throughout all of their struggles. I feel like these people are great role models, and I one day hope that if I’m in the same situation that I would have the courage to do the same thing.
