->WATCH TRAILER

In Los Angeles, an ordinary morning fractures without warning.

A man is forced to flee as an unseen threat closes in, reducing a life to instinct and movement. What begins as routine turns into a silent struggle for existence. 

No trailer available

Island of Dreams delivers an intimate portrait of Cuba in a time of crisis. What makes someone leave everything and everyone they know and love, and forego their familiar culture, to make their way into an unknown future in an unknown land? What makes someone stay where they live despite hardship and deprivation? 

Island of Dreams shows a Cuba whose people have little hope for the future.

->WATCH TRAILER

A diminished combat veteran, working at the Veteran’s Crisis Line, believing there is nothing he can do to change the broken system, is voluntold to go on TV to defend it - he has 8 hours to decide.
