What does the "American dream" look like through the eyes of
today's immigrants and refugees? From Nigeria, India, the Dominican
Republic, Mexico and the Israeli-occupied West Bank, they come with
different dreams: to achieve athletic glory or high-tech riches, to
escape poverty and persecution, to provide for their families. This
award-winning seven-part series follows these newcomers from each
of their homelands through their first tumultuous years in America.
