Aggregating Conversation Around the DREAM Act
Spot.Us has a great pitch about the DREAM Act and its impact here in California. The documentary is aptly titled “An Unfinished Dream” and comes from two of the most motivated young reporters we’ve had the pleasure of working with.
An interesting nuance to their reporting is capturing the lives of those intimately touched by this legislation.
There is a robust conversation taking place right now about the DREAM Act. It includes Orange Citizen, Change.Org’s immigration page, Imagine2050, Dream Activist, Dreams to be Heard and more.
We wanted to capture just a snapshot of the conversation happening right now. It is a conversation that we believe Margarita, the young film-maker behind this pitch, can contribute to in a very meaningful way. One only need to watch the trailer to her documentary to be convinced of that. If you agree, please support her work. Every small contribution helps.
But as always context can mean everything. So below are some other YouTube videos and Tweets that Spot.Us was able to find that are relevant to the last few days.
