I Love America is a one-woman show that tells the story of immigrants at sea. Each year hundreds of citizens of the Dominican Republic risk their lives in the 74 miles of water that separate their shores from Puerto Rico. Their goal is to pass as Puerto Ricans in the hopes of gaining entry to the United States. In the voices of 7 characters, Lidia Ramirez portrays the courage, optimism, naivete, and resilience that the journey requires. We hear what people are willing to go leave behind, home, family and friends, in exchange for the promise of a better life. I Love America pays tribute to those who made it as well as those who are part of the tragic and anonymous drowned at sea statistics of the government record books.
