Dorina — Sueño Americano

Welcome to the land of the greed, the home of the debt, the American dream.

When our taxes pay for kids in cages, a migrant street vendor, a social media influencer, and a billionaire must join forces to stop the almighty Eagle from keeping the world in complacent slumber. This music video blends live action and animation to tackle the ongoing deportation of native workers and street vendors, or "immigrants", as named by ICE and President Donald Trump. This fun, lively Mexican cumbia uses the power of music as a way to heal while also lyrically conveying the horrors of the real world. We wanted the music video to compliment these words by painting a whimsical and surreal portrait of what it feels like to come to this country situated on ancestral Indigenous land.
