The shaky timing behind the launch of a green cleaning business in North Carolina amid a stagnant economy serves as the backdrop of a new film conceived by the Latino Community Credit Union.

The March 28 premier of "Roberto's Dreams" at the Carolina Theater of Durham in North Carolina, coincides with the debut of the $91 million LCCU's new micro business program that will offer loans up to $10,000, savings and checking accounts, certificates of deposits and educational workshops.

The film tells the story of owning a business, featuring the same immigrant couple from LCCU's first award-winning, educational film, "Ang?lica's Dreams," the cooperative said. In the middle of an economic crisis, Roberto has been laid off and his wife Ang?lica continues to struggle with her house cleaning business. Roberto decides to embark on the journey of starting the first Latino green cleaning business in North Carolina.
