The Dells
THE DELLS observes the clash between fantasy and reality faced by international student workers newly arrived in Wisconsin Dells, WI—the self-described “Waterpark Capital of the World.” Coming from globally disparate countries, these students and their temporary J-1 visas are the true labor force for an American summer, especially in the Dells. We see their hopes for a summer of American luck and prosperity rub up against their actual experiences, which are by turns disappointing, funny, and transcendent.
