DREAMERS
Everyone has a dream. How can a child brought to the USA without papers who
grows up loving their country, like any counterpart born here, risk being
deported to a land they know not because of a lack in legal immigration status?
Meet two filmmakers taking the issue of immigration dividing the nation and
through narrative filmmaking successfully shine the spotlight on the painful
ramifications experienced within their Latino community. As our community of
Latino multimedia-makers and actors long for that hit film, TV series,
webisodes or role, learn the road taken by these individuals in realizing projects
within the world of independent production and prove that, with a strategic
plan, dreams do come true.
