For renowned Croatian poet Dubravka Oraic Tolic, it is "what is born from our dreams without our knowing."As Columbus'dream of reaching India was interrupted by the discovery of a new land, we too discover unexpected lands in pursuit of our dreams. These new lands are the reality of our hopeful voyages. American Screamexplores the tension between a nation's dream of freedom and the outworking of that dream.
