Robertos Dreams
After winning the Dora Maxwell Award for Social Responsibility with its first feature film, Angelica’s Dreams (2007), Durham based Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) and award winning director/producer Rodrigo Dorfman have partnered again to produce the second part in this series of innovative educational feature films. Roberto’s Dreams takes its storyline straight out of today’s news headlines. It is now ten years later and we are in the grips of an economic crisis. Roberto has been laid off, Angélica is still cleaning houses and their ten year old daughter, Brittany, struggles to mix her Latino roots with her American education. Roberto decides to start the long and perilous journey of owning his own business -- the first Latino green cleaning business in North Carolina. Once again mixing documentary and fiction, director/producer Rodrigo Dorfman shot the film entirely on location in Durham, North Carolina, plunging his main characters deep into the daily life of one of the most vibrant, new Latino communities in the U.S.
