Rich in heritage this detailed depiction of a Hispanic family trying to adapt to the American culture accounts for both their struggles and victories throughout 3 generations. Although there were both up and downs, the general focus of the movie is much more focused on the struggles that the family endured. From a child nearly drowning at a young age, to the same son getting shot and killed in an alley as a young adult, to even the daughter in law dying during child-birth. The struggles were difficult and heartbreaking yet the family was always able to come together, be there for one another, and help each other overcome the circumstances. 'Mi Familia' reminds us how we often take our families for granite. We must appreciate every moment that we have to spend with them, because when others desert you and are no longer around; your family will always stick by your side.
