A Complex and Compelling Story

At the heart of Behold The Dreamers is the story of Jende Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant who arrives in New York City with his wife, Neni, and their young son, Liomi. Full of hope and ambition, they dream of a better life in America. However, the reality they encounter is far from the one they had imagined.

Jende works tirelessly as a limousine driver, while Neni struggles to find her place in a foreign culture. As they navigate the challenges of their new life, their marriage is tested and their dreams begin to unravel.

Through the experiences of Jende and Neni, Imbolo Mbue explores the complexities of the American Dream. She challenges the notion that America is a land of endless opportunity, and she exposes the systemic racism and inequality that often stand in the way of immigrants and people of color.

There is Cindy, the Cameroonian immigrant who works as a housekeeper for Clark and befriends Neni. And there is Liomi, Jende and Neni's son, who witnesses the hardships his parents endure and grapples with his own identity.
