Institute History
Description
City of Dreams by Jorge Manzano tells the dramatic story of a young Native man who leaves his community with his mother to move to Toronto, her “city of dreams,” only to find poverty, alcoholism, and disillusionment. He encounters the street, insanity, and eventually prison, and there he learns of the death of his mother and first touches the spiritual elements of his culture, finding a sense of renewal.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
