At the Movies: Watch Premiere of The Dream Is Now

While tens of thousands of people raised their voice for immigration reform in front of the nation’s capital yesterday, key legislators watched the stories of five Dreamers unfold on a movie screen at the Capitol for the premiere of Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim’s (“Waiting for Superman” and “An Inconvenient Truth”) new documentary, The Dream is Now, which was shown in House and Senate screenings. The film Dream tells the stories of undocumented youth and their families who are desperate to earn their citizenship in the only country they’ve ever called home, the United States of America. The 30-minute film was created to keep the focus on Congress to pass immigration reform. The main subjects from the film participated in panels with campaign representatives and policymakers following the screenings.

The Dream is Now campaign also announced that the film exploring America’s broken immigration system will air on MSNBC Sunday, April 14 at 4pm/ET, 1pm/PT.
