NyThe Nuyorican Dream is a documentary about the construction of identity and how family, race, class, and sexuality can collapse on top of you. It follows the daily struggles of a migrant lower-class Puerto Rican family living in New York. The Nuyorican Dream is an ambitious and often heartbreaking case. Nuyorican argon of second genesis who are born and live in New York city. The difference between Nuyorican and Puerto Ricans is the country they are born in and that Nuyorican barely speak Spanish.This film follows ternion generations of mother Marta Torress, forty-six, family. In the year 1940s 60s Puerto Ricans suffered of a lot of meagerness. You could barely find jobs and if you did the payments could not provide enough money to support your family. Millions migrated to New York City in search for a better life, mainly economically. Marta Torres decides to come to Brooklyn, New York around the 1960s with her family.

Her other kids can be considered to be less boffo.

Has a daughter who is five historic period sometime(a).She struggles through for money and ends up losing her apartment so she moves back to Brooklyn. After years of trying she becomes drug free. Then we carry Betty who is 26 years old and is also addicted to heroin and crack. She didnt finish her education either and got pregnant of 3 kids whom she lost custody for. Marta vanquishs the custody of these three innocent kids. You credibly asking yourself why she kept having children after the first one if she couldnt affor d to and wasnt responsible.

This family was from all corners facing problems and was not what Marta had expected for her kids. Marta brought her kids here mostly to give them a better education and opportunities because Puerto Rico in her time was phasing poverty and political issues.The status of Puerto Ricans based on this film wasnt as good as what you would imagine. All these migrants came for the American Dreams but in order to have success in it they have to go through many obstacles. Puerto Ricans use both Spanish and English put together for is known to us Spanglish. Puerto Ricans are not the only gro up of Latinos which phase these problems. We have for example Mexicans, Dominicans and Colombians who come to New York City in search of a better life for their kids but they have struggles as well.Many kids dont take advantage of the opportunities and get peer pressure or hang out with the wrong crew and get to drugs and cutting school. This film taught me that we should everlastingly take advantage of the opportunities we get in life and in having a good education. In order to be successful in the United States you will always need education. We should be satisfied and grateful with what we have, because there are others who dont have half of what we have. We should always be proud of our background because although it has poverty it has beautiful natural resources.
