The Mexican Dream

The Mexican Dream is a tragic comedy film, written and directed by Gustavo Hernández Pérez, inspired by true events. The film stars Jesús Chuy Pérez as Ajileo Barajas, an illegal alien who in many ways represents a modern Don Quixote in pursuit of becoming a movie star. A fast-paced and fresh film that brings together two worlds and slices into one of this century’s biggest social realities; immigration. The film explores the dreams and delusions, the hopes and desperation of an individual who goes to extremes to give his family a better tomorrow by testing the strength, courage, and passion it takes to follow your dreams.
