Embrace and celebrate the rich living history of Northwest Aurora, one of the most diverse communities in the country. 

The city of Aurora boasts 160 languages spoken in the public schools, countless award-winning restaurants, and a vibrant arts scene. However, challenges exist as the community faces poverty, crime, and displacement. Development is encroaching and housing prices are on the rise. The community’s efforts to survive and thrive are highlighted in this inspirational and uplifting film that follows five individuals. This is the story of a community making good on the promise of the American dream. 

Stay tuned after the show!  A panel discussion and Q&A with the film’s creative team will be held directly after the film’s screening.

The People's Building was once a ski shop and then a rent-to-own furniture store. It is now utilized as a gallery and a flexible event space for cultural events, workshops, meetings, independent artists, musicians, dancers, and event planners. It stands as one of the few venues dedicated to access to affordable and dignified performance and event space.
