From the winner of two Academy Awards® and a total of 13 Oscar ® nominations—a semi-autobiographical story written and directed by Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father). Starring Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Sarah Bolger, and Djimon Hounsou, In America was written by Sheridan and his daughters, Naomi and Kristen. In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script format, the book includes a facsimile of the shooting script, a foreword from Jim Sheridan, movie stills, and full cast and crew credits.. Ultimately it is their kindness to a stranger and that stranger's response in return that builds their new home
