How to Make An American Son
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Father and son, Mando and Orlando, are living different versions of the American Dream. Honduran-born Mando built a successful janitorial business and can pay for his son’s fancy private school. Orlando enjoys the fruits of his father’s labor but is embarrassed by his old-fashioned ideas, accent, and line of work. When the business faces turmoil just as Orlando is going through a crisis of his own, the two must face tough truths about their citizenship, business, love, and the importance of family to keep their dreams alive in a society that won’t let them truly belong.
