Per Fox News:
Former Republican presidential candidate, businessman and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is calling attention to human trafficking, a global human rights crisis, by telling a heartbreaking story, inspired by true events, of a young boy whose dreams were minced when he was betrayed and thrown into child slavery in the U.S.
“City of Dreams” follows Jesús, a Mexican boy who was shattered to find his soccer ambitions had ended when he was trafficked across the U.S. border into Los Angeles and forced into sweatshop enslavement.
“I am a father. I’m a father of two sons,” Vivek Ramaswamy, executive producer of “City of Dreams,” told Fox News Digital during a video interview. “That’s one of the things that made this movie so uncomfortable for me because it is about a young boy who, in many ways, reminded me, just in the way he was portrayed in the film and his actual story, his personality and his spark, reminded me of my two boys.”
Vivek Ramaswamy was an executive producer on “City of Dreams,” a film about a young boy who was forced into modern slavery.
