Zusammenfassung:Watch an interview with author Daniela Berghahn on Facultimedia.com to find out more about Far-Flung Families in FilmIn the age of globalisation, diasporic and other types of transnational family are increasingly represented in films such as East is East, Le Grand Voyage, Almanya - Welcome to Germany, Immigrant Memories, Couscous, When We Leave, Monsoon Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
