Dreamer

Running time: 87 mins

A powerful story of love, hope, and what it truly means to be American. All Joe's ever wanted is to achieve his dreams in the country he's loved and known all his life. With a college education and a good job, he's well on his way to living the American Dream. Yet, when his employer discovers his undocumented status, Joe's life begins to crumble around him, and he must face the possibility of losing his livelihood, his family, and, even, himself. Jesse Salmeron's Dreamer opens a window into the reality of many who, because of one insurmountable obstacle, find it impossible to achieve their dreams. And by transcending racial lines, Joe's story illuminates the immigration debate for what it is: a tragedy that affects all Americans.
