Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/dollars-and-dreams.html Dollars and Dreams is a documentary film focused on the pursuits and challenges of numerous West African immigrants as they confront the idea of the American Dream and the reality of the New York experience. Including additional perspective from scholars, authors, and community leaders, the film creates a vibrant portrait of African achievement throughout the city, while exploring the complicated issues African immigrants face as they balance their deep connections to Africa and their enthusiastic commitments to America.

The American media and the perception they have created in the minds of Africans in general is very different from the reality. Atlanta! - well another city....
In the same way the media depiction of Africa is so negative that nothing positive ever shows about Africa. To this day some Americans don't believe there is internet or indoor plumbing in African homes. So ignorant.
