I found the movie, A Place at the Table interesting and thought provoking. I enjoyed that the movie showed people from different backgrounds and their stories, instead of just one person’s perspective. I liked how each person told their own story, but there was also a common theme of how they came to live in America and the struggles their families faced. I learned a lot about different cultures from the stories that were told during the movie. One of the most interesting things that I took…
