Overview
Backstreet to the American Dream is a bilingual documentary that explores the modern-day American Dream. This deep dive into the birthplace of the food truck revolution – Los Angeles – juxtaposes the experiences of American entrepreneurs and Mexican immigrants in the industry, and looks at how street food fosters racial tolerance. Indeed, central to the story are two very distinct enterprises: El Pescadito - a seafood truck that’s been parking at the same swap meet in South L.A. since 1982, and Grill ‘Em All, the prestigious first-season winner of The Great Food Truck Race on The Food Network in 2010.
