‘Dream,’ produced and directed by Aldo Bello, is a documentary set in today’s heated immigration debate and polarized political climate. Bello examines the country’s current dysfunctional immigration system via the personal circumstances of Georgetown University student, Juan Gómez, the DREAM Act movement, and the impact of immigration policy and laws in the nation.
“Immigration reform is the civil rights issue of our generation, and we need to lend our voice and stand up and be counted,” said José C. Feliciano, chairman of the Hispanic Roundtable.
Prior to the screening, there will be a panel discussion with Bello, and local leading immigration reform advocates.
According to Bello, “Dream is a film about the remarkable strength, creativity, talent, perseverance and plain ol’ American grit that each and every one of these undocumented immigrants make so clearly visible every day in their struggle for a better life and the freedoms that we, as United States citizens enjoy, and sometimes, take for granted.”
The Hispanic Roundtable is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to act as a catalyst to empower the Hispanic Community to become full partners in the economic, education, political, civic, and social life of Greater Cleveland.
The Young Latino Network (YLN) gives young professionals in the Latino community the opportunity to come together, network, mentor and volunteer, and is the pipeline that bridges the gap between the current leadership and the future leadership in Northeast Ohio’s Latino Community.
This event is FREE and open to the public. Free parking is available. For more information and to RSVP, visit www.thedreamdocumentary.com, or email [email protected].
