As an ardent admirer of the intersection between politics, entrepreneurship, and artistry, I am absolutely captivated by Vivek Ramaswamy’s foray into Hollywood with his debut production, City of Dreams. Born to a father who worked in a sweatshop and inspired by a historic case in El Monte, California, this film carries the weight of personal history and societal responsibility.
Businessman and past Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has ventured into Hollywood for the first time with the film “City of Dreams,” which is helmed by director Rohit Ramchandani, previously a film producer. The movie, inspired by various true accounts, is anticipated to bring attention to the pressing societal concern of child trafficking.
Just two days before the film’s theatrical debut on August 28, Roadside Attractions declared on August 26 that the producers are offering a million dollars worth of free tickets for a string of advance screenings starting on Wednesday (August 27). It is expected that this giveaway will attract more than 50,000 cinema-goers. The aim is to catch the interest of people who might not typically be able to attend a screening, as well as survivors of human trafficking and their advocates, educators, religious institutions, and local governments.
In the City of Dreams, Ramaswamy is working to spread knowledge about the devastating issue of human trafficking, a significant global human rights concern. By recounting the heartbreaking story of a young boy who had his dreams shattered when he was deceived and forced into child labor in the U.S., he aims to raise awareness. The story follows the path of a Mexican teenager named Jesús, played by Ari Lopez, whose dream of becoming a soccer star comes crashing down when he’s illegally transported across the border and sold to a factory in downtown Los Angeles.
City of Dreams, a feature film debut for veteran producer Ramchandani, is rooted in a significant sweatshop incident that occurred in El Monte, California. He not only produced but also directed this movie, which he wrote himself. The story tackles some of the nation’s most contentious political issues, such as the border crisis and the exploitation of immigrant children by American corporations through their supply chains.
In an interview about the movie, Ramchandani highlighted that he funded City of Dreams using the money from his mother’s life insurance payout. Born in India and having a father who left Pakistan after the 1947 partition and worked in a sweatshop, Ramchandani explained it as a means to pay tribute to both his parents.
As an advocate for a meaningful lifestyle, I find myself drawn away from political affiliations and towards the power of art as a tool for storytelling and uplifting humanity. This film I’ve created is not about politics but rather a call to action on a pressing humanitarian issue – child trafficking in America.
The movie features Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino, who additionally acts as an executive producer alongside Sylvester Stallone, Pat Riley, Martin Sheen, Kathie Lee Gifford, Katheryn Winnick, John Devaney, Azad Shivdasani, Tony Robbins, Luis Fonsi, Yalitza Aparicio, Colleen Camp, Luis Mandoki, Linda Perry, and Michael Phillips. Additionally, Marisol Nichols is part of the cast. In City of Dreams, we find Alfredo Castro, Paulina Gaitan, Golden Globe nominee Diego Calva, Renata Vaca, and others. Apart from Ramaswamy and Ramchandani, the film is produced by Matthew Diezel, Jon Graham, Rufus Parker, and Sean Wolfington.
