It also offers multi-layered perspectives on Muslim immigration and the reactions of the host country. And next to the intercultural aspect, it's also really fun to watch :-) A documentary that I'd also like to add to the list is "When China Met Africa", offering intimate portraits of 3 Chinese who move to Zambia for different job opportunities. And for everyone, who'd like to learn a bit more about China and its rural workers, I always recommend "The Last Train Home", a portrait of a family of rural migrant workers, filming their daily lives as well as the long train ride home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

A) The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways. B) Outsourced (2006) After his entire department is outsourced, an American novelty products salesman (Hamilton) heads to India to train his replacement. 2 of my favorites on India, contrasting India and other countries in a non-stereotypical fashion.
