ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Behold the Dreamers” by Imbolo Mbue follows the lives of Jende and Neni Jonga, an immigrant couple from Cameroon, as they navigate life in New York City. Jende secures a job as a chauffeur for a wealthy family, while Neni dreams of becoming a pharmacist. The novel explores themes of immigration, the American Dream, and socio-economic disparities, contrasting the struggles of the Jonga family with the challenges faced by their wealthy employers. Through their journey, Mbue examines the emotional and financial toll of ambition, the complexities of identity, and the harsh realities of pursuing success in a foreign land.
