My American Girls: A Dominican Love Story captures the joys and struggles over a year in the lives of the Ortiz family, first generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic. This film captures the rewards — and costs — of pursuing the American dream. From hard-working parents, who imagine retiring to their rural homeland, to fast-tracking American-born daughters, caught between their parent's values and their own, the film encompasses the contradictions of contemporary immigrant life. A Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) Co-presentation.
