The Literary Showcase Featuring Baldemar Rodriquez

Five children and their adult brother desperately race across Texas for survival after their parents, undocumented for 30 years, were caught, arrested and thrown in jail in one fell swoop - deportation is only a matter of time. When CPS threatens to separate them, the children are forced to abandon the only home they've ever known. A routine traffic stop by a police officer goes terribly wrong and now they are not only running from CPS but also from the law. In Search of the American Dream tells the story of one family torn apart... and the fear and agony the children are forced to bear alone.

 

This movie gives you the up close and personal view of the struggles that American families face daily.  We want to celebrate Rodriquez for his passion and prolific skill in bringing this common reality to the screen.
