The Little Trip of a Dream is a documentary that portrays the experience of a U.S. woman who travels to Mexico and gets to know the village of Ocotitlan, Morelos, the home of her undocumented co-workers back in Richmond, Va. Through interviews and encounters with community members in Ocotitlan, Jen begins to understand her friends’ migratory motivations.

With much curiosity, Jen goes to the U.S./Mexico border to see the conditions in which undocumented people migrate. After exploring the border and its different manifestations, Jen returns to Richmond to share her experience with her friends, whom she sees with new eyes. The Little Trip of a Dream is an experience where connections between two worlds become stronger and solidarity tears down walls.

The film will be followed by a facilitated community conversation about how immigration and immigration policies are impacting our communities with the filmmaker Jen Lawhorne, members and leaders of the ADP Worker Center, local activists and community members.

This event is brought to you by the ADP Worker Center, Center for New Americans, Food For Thought Books, and Immigrant and Worker Rights Coalition.
