This cinema verite documentary which chronicles Michelle Lopez, a Trinidadian lesbian who pursues the American Dream & a green card in a country that denies her citizenship because she is an HIV+ immigrant. While juggling life as a single mom & devoted religious follower, she organizes to reverse this discriminatory law & other practices that infringe on the quality of life for HIV+ people. As the gay marriage becomes debated nationally, Michelle’s partner requests a commitment and their relationship mirrors the divide within LGBT, AIDS, & immigrant communities.
