“Price of a Dream” is a poetic and deeply personal short documentary that examines the sacrifices and emotional cost of migration through the story of two Senegalese emigrants who tragically lost their lives while pursuing the American Dream. Told through the lens of the filmmaker’s brother, the film combines reflective imagery, heartfelt voicemails, and interviews with key voices, including an immigration lawyer, the president of the Senegalese Association, and a journalist. Together, these perspectives explore the harsh realities of leaving home, navigating a complex system, and enduring the pain of separation. The documentary raises profound questions about the price of ambition, the meaning of family, and the lasting impact of dreams left unfulfilled.
