Embrace and celebrate the rich living history of Northwest Aurora, one of the most diverse communities in the country. 

The city of Aurora boasts 160 languages spoken in the public schools, countless award-winning restaurants, and a vibrant arts scene. However, challenges exist as the community faces poverty, crime, and displacement. Development is encroaching and housing prices are on the rise. The community’s efforts to survive and thrive are highlighted in this inspirational and uplifting film that follows five individuals. This is the story of a community making good on the promise of the American dream. 

Director and producer, Julie Jackson, joins Aurora Now to give us a preview of this new documentary film. You can catch it yourself during a special screening at the Aurora Fox Arts Center on Thursday, May 2 at 6 p.m.
