Summary: Every year, an estimated 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools. Raised entirely in American culture, they finish high school only to find themselves in a peculiarly American limbo. "American Dreamer: Sam's Story" is a first-person longitudinal radio documentary sharing the experience of one of these kids.
Hi from a new PRX fan
Thoughtful program! Thanks!
It seems to me there should always be citizenshiproom in America for people - like Sam - who poigniantly contribute so much to life, enriching our experience.
Kudos for an excellent "first listen" to an engaging new-to-me discovery.
Where can I buy a Sam CD? I dig cool jazz and soulful sax!

So Thorough
Amazing piece. So thorough and thoughtful. I'm wondering how long it took to put together? Seems like a real "long haul" piece to me!
