Recording Date 11/28/2022 First Air Date 12/14/2022 In the documentary series ‘I Am A Dreamer’, we see the experience of DREAMers & undocumented immigrants, we go into their lives, their dreams and their struggles in this city. Through fast-paced images and heartfelt stories we hope to inspire our audience to be socially active and also to support the organizations that are working on behalf of the thousands of undocumented immigrants, so ‘I Am A Dreamer’ is a tool to engage the audience in social change. In the production process we make sure to create a safe space for the people involved telling their stories of migration. The series started in 2017, as a reaction to the cancellation of DACA by the Trump Administration and we are currently producing our 6th season.
