ABOUT AMERICAN NIGHT: THE BALLAD OF JUAN JOSÉ
As Juan José (René Millán) feverishly studies for his citizenship exam, his obsession to pass takes him on a fantastical odyssey through U.S. history guided by a handful of unsung citizens who made courageous choices in some of the country’s toughest times. AMERICAN NIGHT: THE BALLAD OF JUAN JOSÉ is a provocative, irreverent, and hilarious mix of past and present, stereotype and truth.
