Summaries

Documentary on the interconnection between the American Dream and racist discrimination in the USA. The film is based on interviews with young people from all over the country, who share their stories and experiences.

The American Dream - the epitome of the hope that everybody can achieve everything by hard work and passion. Is this hope floating above the U.S. like a myth? Or maybe more like the sword of Damocles? Dreams & Pieces is taking the audience to a 8.000 miles journey from Chicago to Houston and from San Francisco to Washington D.C., a journey trough living rooms, kitchens, Bars and over roads. Experiences with racism and the personal life of the protagonists are in focus. The imagination of the land of unlimited opportunities gets suddenly confined through day-to-day racism, economical developments, forgotten areas.—Anonymous
