CITY OF DREAMS

Drug abuse, violence and prison. These themes are articulated in a series of stories from the life of Marcel Commandas, stories which are centered on loss and a desire to assert his native identity. This film is based on dramatized events from Marcels life. The issue of reclaiming ones identity and culture is the focal point of this film. At the same time the film attempts to break societal stereotypes. I never prayed to the creator. I had never heard the music of my people. I became a singer and drummer. I never went back to prison. I wanted my grandparents and parents to be proud of me.
