A short narrative funded by Film Independent, My Dear Americans is about a Sikh womanâs defiant spirit. A recent immigrant to the U.S, Tejpreet is reluctant to embrace her new American identity. In contrast, her husband celebrates everything that mildly reeks of America. On Americaâs most patriotic holiday, the fourth of July, they have a threatening racist encounter that crushes the Sikh manâs enthusiastic spirit. Witnessing her husbandâs devastation, Tejpreet makes a choice against hate and turns the situation around, if only momentarily.
