    american dreams...
    Are hard to make, and if youre the lucky one that fullfills the dream of american pride and joy and confidence, there are always someone that wants to take it away from you, either by hate or by force, or by stealing the dream...

    it was really a joyride to follow this multi-racial family up in bad axe michigan, grown up from the rice fields of cambodia, fleeing for their life from the genocidal powers of the mean and inhumane powers of the red khmer government, thats main idea was to eradicate every sholared ,brightbrained and human sucesses in the name of superradicalized communism.

    Striving building a business that in 2020 came under attack by covid shutdowns, an ongoing race war and threatened by neonazi weaponized hooligans that mourns over the defeat of president trump, you will follow this familys ups and downs, and general anger towards the unfairness of their society.

    Its filmed by a cinematographic geek of the family, therefore its more or less a family portrait of a real life documentary, made on a dime, and casted by a brave and at no cost crowd of grandfamily, its well edited, and musical scored, and will bend the beads of emotions anyhow and anywhere among everyone who still believe in the american dream.

    The grumpy old man that reviews this documentary from norway recommends, still shellshocked by the knitwit white supremacists way of thinking how a perfect society should be, and their ways of method to fullfill this vision. Some of the most powerful stuff viewed this year.
