6-8 PM Bard Hall at First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego 298 W Arbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92103 FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC The Dells (2024, 72 mins) offers an intimate portrait of international students navigating the gap between the American Dream and American reality in Wisconsin Dells, the self-proclaimed "Waterpark Capital of the World." Through the State Department's Summer Work Travel program, young people from Turkey, Romania, Jamaica, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic arrive in the Midwest on temporary J-1 visas, taking low-wage jobs as lifeguards, housekeepers, and servers while living in dormitories behind the town's tourist attractions. This observational documentary follows an ensemble cast of "J-1s" as they work long hours, party, deal with car troubles and job losses, and cruise around town in taxis, their youthful optimism and friendships sustaining them through the disappointments and occasional moments of transcendence that define their summer abroad. Check out the trailer.
