American welcomes all types

Whether they arrived via online dating, adoption, political asylum, student and work visas-or swimming the Rio Grande and staying long enough to be granted amnesty-they all came here to live the American dream.

In this companion to her HBO documentary, Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi journeys to naturalization ceremonies in all fifty states to bring us the wide-ranging personal stories of men and women from around the globe who saw the hope and promise of our nation in the distance and set out on the journey-no matter how long, arduous, or even dangerous-to make their own American dreams come true. And although they are no longer visitors, our newest citizens still look at American with an outsider's perspective; they hold up a mirror to show us how we look as a nation-and, even in a time when unemployment and poverty plague us, how much we can take for granted.
