SUMMARY:Building the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:An intimate screening and discussion in the East Bay\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nFor those who cannot attend the San Francisco premiere at SF DocFest\, BAVC Media is hosting a second screening in Oakland in partnership with local advocacy groups in hopes that more people can have an early chance to see this timely and powerful film. \nCo-presented by StudioToBe and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program along with local education and advocacy groups to be announced. \nDoors open at 7 for a reception and discussion before the film. \nAcross Texas\, an unstoppable construction boom drives urban sprawl and luxury high-rises. Its dirty secret: abuse of immigrant labor. BUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM captures a turning point as a movement forms to fight widespread construction industry injustices. Grieving their son\, a Mexican family campaigns for a life-and-death safety ordinance. A Salvadorian electrician couple owed thousands in back pay fights for their children’s future. A bereaved son battles to protect others from his family’s preventable tragedy. A story of courage\, resilience and community\, the film reveals shocking truths about the hardworking immigrants who build the American Dream\, from which they are excluded. \n“An eye-opener about the abuse of workers whose immigration status makes them victims.” – The Hollywood Reporter \n“Chelsea Hernandez tugs at our heartstrings and puts fuel to a fire of righteous anger.” –FilmThreat
