> The "American dream” is everybody’s hope for a better job, a better life, a better tomorrow, but for some of us, a dream is all it will ever be. The dream is just out of our grasp, for we are “the other”, the homeless, the weirdo, the freak, the gay, the immigrant and the outcast. Despite these odds, American Sueño is a hopeful journey in search of a new era of acceptance. American Sueño tells the stories of four marginalized individuals in pursuit of their version of the American Dream.
