BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy joins film highlighting border crisis and child slavery as executive producer

The inspired by true events film centers around a young Mexican boy who was trafficked across the southern border and sold to a Los Angeles sweatshop, according to Deadline. The film speaks on the current border crisis in America and the exploitation of children in American corporations.

In a statement, Ramaswamy said, "City of Dreams is a gripping thriller inspired by many true stories, and it’s one of the most important films of our time. It ought to make every American, and especially every parent, deeply uncomfortable – by exposing the underbelly of child trafficking in our own country. It’s an American nightmare."

"I don’t care if you’re on the left or the right, black or white, fighting child slavery and child trafficking is one of our most important moral imperatives. This film will keep you on the edge of your seat, and I’m proud to be working alongside Sean and Mo as an Executive Producer on this generationally important film."

Joining Ramaswamy as an executive producer on the film is actor and producer Colleen Camp, who said she was "blown away by what I learned and experienced watching this film." This includes that there are 12 million children around the world who are currently enslaved.

"What I truly admired is that Mo took his own father’s personal story to shine a light on the most important issue in our country today. I am excited to join my friends Howard and Eric to help bring this incredible film and its mission to the world," she added.

Ramchandani said of the two joining the film, "Like me, Vivek is of Indian heritage and has a deep humanity and love for this country. And Colleen is a queen of Hollywood whose work I have admired my whole life. This film isn’t about politics, and I personally don’t lean left or right, I lean into using my art to be of service to storytelling and humanity. I am humbled by Vivek, Colleen and everyone who has been moved by this film and who want to bring awareness to the issue of children that have been sold into slavery in America and to pursue a collective mission to rescue them."
