Take Action- http://www.thedreamisnow.org/take-action Help make 11 million dreams come true!
The Dream Is Now, a new 30-minute documentary film by Davis Guggenheim (Academy Award-wining director of An Inconvenient Truth), tells the moving story of those directly affected by a broken immigration system, the undocumented children of immigrants who yearn to contribute more to the country they call home. This thought-providing film puts a human face on the issue and brings attention to Congress’ efforts to pass reform that will give undocumented youth and their families the chance to earn their citizenship.

Watch it all in this video and share with your friends too!
