ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Behold the Dreamers" by Imbolo Mbue tells the story of Jende and Neni Jonga, immigrants from Cameroon who come to New York seeking a better life. Jende gets a job as a chauffeur for Clark Edwards, a wealthy Lehman Brothers executive. As the financial crisis intensifies, the lives of the two families become intertwined, revealing the vast disparities in wealth and opportunity in American society.

The novel explores themes of immigration, the American Dream, and the impact of economic forces on individual lives. Jende and Neni's aspirations are tested by economic hardship and the ever-present threat of deportation, leading them to make difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences.
