The Center for Childhood and Youth Studies Film Series presents
My American Girls: A Dominican Story
With discussion led by Yvonne Ruiz, PhD, School of Social Work
The film captures the joys and struggles over a year in the lives of the Ortiz family, first generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Capturing 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.
