Primary
The film explicitly critiques corporate power and champions the cause of the working class against economic exploitation, highlighting the human cost of labor disputes and the systemic challenges faced by unions.

Secondary
The film 'American Dream' is a documentary centered on the Hormel Foods strike, detailing the struggles of working-class families and labor disputes. It does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, thus rendering the net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal as not applicable.
