Looking back on some notes, I have "Island of My Dreams" to be shown sometime in March. Something about a beautiful place to be and that you can't eat beauty. Does this sound familiar to anyone. The following article doesn't say what Sunday, I think it was last year. Still searching for the one that is to be shown this month. Documentary creators want to hear from Portuguese immigrants
Is this article accurate?

The documentary, called "Ilha De Meus Sonhos," or "Island of My Dreams," will be produced by Ricardo Rebelo, who teaches TV and film courses at Bristol Community College. BCC's Luso Centro, Fall River Community Television and the FLAD Foundation are combining to create the documentary, which Rebelo hopes to release by the end of the year. On Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the creators will open their film studio at BCC's Jackson Arts Center (room H-101) for immigrants to talk about their experiences. These interviews will be "the backbone of the documentary," they said. Immigrants interested in participating can also contact Rebelo at 401-578-5700. All interviews, even those that don't make it into the documentary, will be archived at the Luso Centro at BCC. Rebelo, a former production assistant at ABC who just finished a documentary about Lizzie Borden, wants to give future generations a chance to hear why their parents or grandparents come to the Fall River area. Many immigrants don't talk freely about the circumstances of emigrating to the U.S., he said. "They don't think it's particularly remarkable, but often it is." Rebelo, himself an Azorean immigrant, is looking to focus on how Portuguese immigrants have maintained the culture of their homeland here, while the Azorean culture has changed since the revolution, he said. The documentary could also note two waves of emigration from the Azores in the 1950s and the 70s. The interviews are being held on Sunday because it is the anniversary of the revolution.
