A docu-drama that pits facades against reality and aims to explore the confines of what defines a family.  This piece is a heartfelt portrayal of a cross-cultural family, newly immigrated to the US, which questions the notion of the American Dream by revealing the hardships of assimilation and the realities of casual racism. It simultaneously examines the anthropological and sociological structures that exist within families and how these structures interact with patterns of kinship and power dynamics in families.
