Mexico: Chasing the American Dream

This was a film made for a class taken at the University of Michigan. It's a very simple take on an incredibly complicated situation. I've had an overwhelming response from white supremacist KKK-style Americans which has caught me off guard... trawling youtube to cuss out anything they percieve as a threat. Y'all, take a breather. I'm disabling comments. Chill.

Official description: "They are everywhere. Mexican immigrants work in our yards, in our houses, in our restaurants. They are the fabric of American society, and they are as part of American society as Americans are. This short documentary film examines border immigration issues between the U.S. and Mexico, recognizing the humanity in all of us. The "American Dream", an all too familiar notion to the foundation of American society, encapsulates the quest of Mexican immigrants who risk their lives by crossing the border for the hope of a better life."
