Beskrivelse af Olivia
Olivia was born in Mexico where she lived with her family until 1927. She then immigrated to a Mexican boxcar camp in Aurora Illinois, where the Hispanic population was gradually rising.
Olivia's life is interwoven with stories of other people from Mexico who settled in Aurora, along with the stories of Mexican Americans who come later. Despite their growing community, they still must deal with racism and cross-cultural conflicts.
Olivia begins a transformation after experiencing visions. With the aid of her Mexican religious resilience, spiritual shaman experience, and education, Olivia's vision crystalizes as la Hispanidad: a community that embraces the Spanish language and its diverse Hispanic cultures. A vision of her former railroad city transforms into a revenue-generating Hispanic tourist attraction known as Aurora: The City of La Hispanidad. Follow Olivia as she experiences life and death, love and hate, but learns to never abandon a dream.
