What happens
Papapapá is a 1995 documentary by Alex Rivera about immigration. The film stars Augusto Rivera, the director's father, and Alex Rivera himself. It calls attention to ideas of transculturation, national belonging, cultural imperialism, and cultural globalization, as Rivera chronicles his father's journey from his native Peru to his life in the United States and parallels it with the journey of the potato.
