They soon discover it is not easy to find work, or adjust to life in Canada. The teenage son is bullied, and disturbed watching his father struggle in a job that is below his level. This is a story of one young mans struggle between working hard, and innocently enough he falls into the wrong company, the world of gangsters and drug dealing. He wants to make fast money, to help his family, and be accepted by a community that has rejected him. This family came with a vision of how life should be in Canada. The Vision of the Canadian dream is now falling apart. The land of opportunity, has turned upside down when they realize their son is involved with a white girl, which is not acceptable in their own community. They start to wonder how he is making fast cash. Feeling isolated and estranged in this new land, they become aware there is a right way to go, there are resources to help them through this transition of realizing their Canadian Dream.http://dilpunjabimovie.comhttp://babukishandas.comcomposer/filmmaker
