Synopsis

Underwater Dreams is the true story of a team of undocumented Mexican high school students, who under the tutelage of two of their teachers, enter the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center's annual International ROV competition,[1] which is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Marine Technology Society, NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and NASA. The four boys from Carl Hayden High School[2] in Phoenix competed against college teams all across the United States including MIT.[3][4]

Another film, Spare Parts about the Carl Hayden team was released January 16, 2015. It stars George Lopez and Marisa Tomei.[5]
