The Night Always Comes

By Willy Vlautin, BS '90 (history)

A heart-wrenching portrait of a woman hungry for security and a home in a rapidly changing city, The Night Always Comes raises the difficult questions we are often too afraid to ask ourselves: What is the price of gentrification, and how far are we really prepared to go to achieve the American Dream? Is the American Dream even attainable for those living at the edges? Or for too many of us, is it only a hollow promise?
