Editorial Review:
Paraiso Travel is the story of Marlon Cruz, a young Colombian man who, motivated by his beautiful girlfriend Reina leaves his life in Colombia to illegally cross the border and find fortune in New York. Marlon's journey, which takes him through seedy strip clubs, dance halls, homeless hostels, and the streets of Jackson Heights, ultimately leads him to a place he could have never predicted.
Paraiso Travel (Spanish) Reviews:
¡Fantástico! 
2009-10-20 - ¡Esto es un inteligente, intrigar, y pensamiento-provocando película colombiana! El libro por Jorge Franco, de que el guión fue adaptado es un trabajo asombroso de la literatura. ¡Cautivar! ¡Sugiero pruchasing ambos!
PARAISO TRAVEL OR THE NON EXISTANT AMERICAN DREAM

PARAISO TRAVEL [ENGLISH]
A dynamic visual approach enlivens this familiar portrait of cultural shock and shattered dreams.
The story about a young Colombian couple who take a shot and wants to try "The American Dream", and land at the far side of "paradise". This stranger-in-a-strange-land theme of alienation has been very well portrayed in a mix of bracing vitality and gritty authenticity.
The director establishes through fictional characters a heady atmosphere and strong sequence that places WOP immigrants in Queens, New York - a famous resident area preferred by most low and middle class Hispanic and Latino community residing in New York State.
As many of us - trying to live the "Now Non Existant American Dream" - struggling to make a better life for ourselves, they end up losing each other in a never easy to understand process, especially for our relatives and family members who must pay a priceless cost.
The appealing pulse of the movie may be easily applied to your unique neighborhood anywhere within The States - from harrowing human-smuggling through your daily struggle to get your first job.
Needless to say, Life in America, especially nowadays, is a bid for survival either in a cosmopolitan city like New York or in any other small town in the states. Highly recommended, especially for Americans and specifically for all those narrowed minded souls living in America incapable to understand this almost "inevitable sociological change", a land made up by immigrants. Premium image and sound quality Five starts to the director Simon Brand who successfully depicts "Our Journey" to America.
