Immigrant

Immigrant tracks Daanyik, a nine-year-old Russian boy whose family immigrates to the United States in the late nineteen-seventies to pursue the American Dream. Daanyik's childhood of pencil drawings and toy soldier battles in Moscow is interrupted overnight as he is thrust into the harsh reality of adulthood in New York City. Upon losing his father, Daanyik finds himself trapped in a precarious web of torment woven by his new stepfather, a lecherous rabbi and a neighborhood bully. He is left to overcome insurmountable odds to save himself and his mother from complete destruction.
