Angélica’s Dreams, the first Latino feature film to come out of North Carolina, boldly mixes financial education and fiction

Angélica’s Dreams is the film version of Latino Community Credit Union's three-part dramatic financial education mini series dedicated  to show community members, and the general population, the process of buying a home. Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) produced it with a grant from the CDFI Fund, a program of the United States Treasury Department. LCCU contracted Rodrigo Dorfman's creative services as producer and director.

Los Sueños de Angélica is the moving story of an immigrant couple from Latin America, Angélica and Roberto, who are discussing whether to return to their home country or stay in the United States. With an unexpected event, everything changes and the couple is faced with the difficult realization that one of them will have to sacrifice their dream for the other.

The film is part of LCCU’s groundbreaking Home Buyer Education (HBE) program. These materials consist of an HBE Guide and the companion video series.
