Sueños Dorados

King

“King” delves into the intimate realm of men’s mental health through a poignant exchange between a young man and his barber in a vibrant Dominican barbershop. Through candid conversations and mutual support, the film explores the complexities of masculinity, identity, and emotional well-being within the context of a culturally rich community. “King” offers a compelling portrayal of the power of dialogue and fellowship in navigating the challenges of modern life.

Elena

In 1937, tens of thousands of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent were exterminated by the Dominican army, on the basis of anti-black racism. Fast-forward to 2013, the Dominican Republic's Supreme Court stripped the citizenship of anyone with Haitian parents, retroactive to 1929, rendering more than 200,000 people stateless. Elena, the young protagonist of the film, and her family stand to lose their legal residency in the Dominican Republic if they don't manage to get their documents in time. Negotiating a mountain of opaque bureaucratic processes and a racist, hostile society around, Elena becomes the face of the struggle to remain in a country built on the labor of her father and forefathers.
