Overview
An NYU graduate student turns the camera on his Puerto Rican-American family in Fayetteville, North Carolina plagued by ills typifying certain urban settings: chronic health issues, poverty, drugs, jail, HIV, domestic violence and unplanned pregnancies. Set against a backdrop of Coney Island, one takes a journey through the U.S. health care system and the educational pursuits of the next generation. Through the lens of modern-day pride and prejudice, this is a lesson in unconditional love and who attains the American dream.
