"[T]he ultimate aspiration is that [DreamxAmerica] . . . both supports immigrant-led small businesses across the U.S. and acts as a heartfelt reminder of our country’s common values of dignity, opportunity, and innovation." - Forbes

DreamxAmerica is a national initiative telling stories of immigrant, refugee, and first-generation entrepreneurs building small businesses – and close-knit communities – in towns and cities across America.

The DreamxAmerica documentary short film is premiering in Winter 2020. You can read more about the DreamxAmerica documentary project (the component fiscally sponsored by the International Documentary Association), and the impact initiative it hopes to catalyze, in Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/samuelgarcia/2019/03/11/dreamxamerica-stri…

"[W]hat I hope is for the next generation to see my story and see their reflection. They'll no longer feel portrayed as victims or villains, but as fashion designers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and any other title they'll like to become." - Caro, CEO of Descalza | Born in El Salvador | Ep 101
