For our final project of our Ethnic Literature course, we chose to examine the film "The Namesake". The film focuses on issues of cultural identity among first generation children. While keeping the film in mind, we conducted interviews with immigrants and children of immigrants to get a better insight into one's view or search for identity and the silencing that can occur as a result of that.
