DOG DAYS
Hot dogs and apple pie are not merely symbols of the American Dream. In DOG DAYS, they are the things those dreams are made of - literally. This feature documentary unfolds through the working relationship between Coite, who risks his capital to embark on a new food business, and single mother Siyone, a food vendor from Eritrea dreaming of freedom.
Nationally Broadcast in 2015-2016 on the award-winning series, America Reframed on PBS WORLD Channel.

“Dog Days transcends both the self-interested politics of Washington’s vending regulatory wars and the city’s byzantine depot structure, which has had a choke hold on sidewalk vendors for years . . . hugely rewarding to watch.”
