Dream In Doubt

A DREAM IN DOUBT tells a uniquely personal story of tragedy, family connection, community, and an American Dream that is in danger of slipping away. The program focuses on Sikh Americans living in Phoenix, Arizona, a close-knit community of families who experienced a wave of frightening hate crimes in the aftermath of 9/11. In the end, this moving portrait of one man's odyssey from persecution in India to embracing America as his homeland proves that courage and hope have the power to overcome hate. This program was previously included in the INDEPENDENT LENS series.
