About the Project
For decades, refugees have begun their journey to the American Dream at a meatpacking plant in Storm Lake, Iowa. But after their shift is over, they dream of something better than the kill floor. Intimately following the lives of the refugees at a meatpacking town in Iowa for over four years, The Americans explores the human reality of the American dream and the personal sacrifices behind it.
