DES MOINES, Iowa — Two filmmakers displaced from California because of wildfires and COVID-19 have created a film titled "Nature of the Dream", which explores Black identity in Iowa.   
Filmmaker and director Miriam Randolph said the film takes personal experiences from a group of nine Black people, who are from the metro, and turns it into a piece highlighting their dreams and experiences.
"I wanted to focus on personal dreams that African Americans have," Randolph said. 
Honing in on those experiences is used as a way to show others how the "American Dream" sometimes does and sometimes does not, apply to Blacks in the United States.
