DARTMOUTH — Creators of a documentary about Azorean and Portuguese culture are looking for natives from those areas to tell their stories about why they moved to the United States and their experiences here.
The documentary, called "Ilha De Meus Sonhos," or "Island of My Dreams," will be produced by Ricardo Rebelo, who teaches TV and film courses at Bristol Community College.

This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
