Backstreet to the American Dream

Backstreet to the American Dream, championed by Executive Producer Dolores Huerta and Jarritos, is an award-winning bilingual documentary examining race, labor, and economic survival in modern America. Set in Los Angeles at the height of the $2 billion global food truck boom, the film reveals the human stakes behind an industry often celebrated for its trendiness.

The story centers on two operators working in the same city under vastly different conditions: Grill ’Em All, the Food Network’s Great Food Truck Race Season 1 winner, and El Pescadito, a Mexican immigrant-owned lonchera serving its community in the same spot since 1982. Their parallel journeys expose who benefits, who struggles, and who remains invisible in today’s food economy.

A visually striking four-minute animated sequence traces the roots of street food from Ancient Mexico to South Los Angeles, narrated in English, Spanish, and Náhuatl, and recognized with multiple animation awards.

The film has screened at 14 film festivals and universities across the U.S. and internationally, and has won 18 awards. Educational distribution with New Day Films is scheduled for spring 2026, expanding the film’s reach into classrooms and community spaces nationwide.

Support helps bring this timely story on labor, dignity, and opportunity to the audiences who need it most.
