“An eye-opener that shows the human cost of corporate greed.”
—The Hollywood Reporter

Across Texas, an unstoppable construction boom drives urban sprawl and luxury high-rises. Its dirty secret: the abuse of immigrant labor. The AFS Grant-supported documentary BUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM captures a turning point as a movement forms to fight widespread construction industry injustices. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members.

Featuring a post-screening panel discussion with Judge Denise Hernandez and Austin City Council Member Jose Velasquez.

Join us before the film for a Labor Appreciation Short Film Showcase at 5 PM. This screening is free and open to the public, but you must register in advance.
