Film Description:
ImmiGreat is the extraordinary true story of Victor Galvan, an undocumented immigrant who risked everything to rewrite his future. At just thirteen, Victor pushed his family across the Rio Grande on makeshift rafts, fleeing crippling poverty and hunger in Mexico.
After a few near-death experiences, run-ins with Mexican gangsters, and brush-ups with border patrol, he’s smuggled across the country in the back of a van—eventually landing in Florida, where he picks oranges to help his family pay rent.
Today, Victor is a multimillionaire entrepreneur committed to giving back—building homes for struggling families in the communities he once came from. Woven throughout the film are the hard-earned lessons and insights he shares with unflinching honesty, offering a roadmap to purpose, resilience, and possibility.
