It's not entirely foreign -Spanish w/subtitles- so I'm not sure it
counts as such, but one worth mentioning is "El Norte -the North."

It's a truly touching story of a sister and brother who make their way
north -to the U.S.- from Guatemala. An insightful look at the  lives of
so called "illegal aliens", and some indictment of the U.S.-supported,
facist dictatorship that drives them from home. The photography,
especially of the Guatemalan jungles, is superb. The story is a bit
saccharine, but believable.

It is currently playing here in LA at the Town and Country in Encino.
