"In vivid verité detail, My American Girls: A Dominican Story captures the joys and struggles over a year in the lives of the Ortiz family, first generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Matthews' film captures the rewards - and costs - of pursuing the American dream. From hard-working parents, who imagine retiring to their rural homeland, to fast-tracking American-born daughters, caught between their parent's values and their own, the film encompasses the contradictions of contemporary immigrant life. After the one-hour screening, director Aaron Matthews will talk about making the film and where the family is today... This is the first screening in an ongoing collaboration between the Museum’s Tenement Talks and P.O.V. Films."
