Nueba Yol

A Dominican widower travels to New York believing migration will deliver prosperity. Instead, he confronts precarious work, legal vulnerability, and the comic but painful gulf between the American dream and immigrant reality.

Why it’s here

Ángel Muñiz’s Spanish-language Dominican landmark treats New York from the viewpoint of working-class Caribbean migration.
