  • The American Dream is a lie. It wa no fairy tale when I first came here eventhough it was 8 years ago but I think that if you work hard you can achieve your dreams anywhere in the world. No need to be in America.

  • this is a good documentary about the american dream.. thanks you for it ;)

  • Moving and thought-provoking. Bravo!
