The Hoffman Family Library and the Library Advocacy Committee will
show the film Dream: An American Story in the Auditorium on September
17, 18, 22, and 23 at 2:30 pm. Set against the backdrop of our nation’s heated
immigration debate, Dream examines the dysfunctional U.S. immigration
system through the story of Juan Gomez, a student under the threat of
deportation. The film documents the rise of the national student and youth
activist movement advocating the passage of the DREAM Act and the impact of
immigration policy through interviews with students, politicians, immigration
reform advocates, lawyers, ordinary citizens, and youth activists. Viewers will
see the challenges that undocumented immigrants struggle with every day and
gain an understanding of the strength and creativity they draw upon in their
struggle for a better life.
