What happens when a Dominican boy in Queens - with an imagination far beyond his shell, who won’t go anywhere without his nerf gun and is obsessed with James Bond - finds out that the real James Bond was Dominican? This is a true story about Porfirio Rubirosa, Ian Fleming’s inspiration for Bond - and how this discovery set off a whole tragi-comic journey for a young, Dominican actor-to-be.

The Real James Bond Was Dominican is a young man’s guide to love, sex, color, code-switching, white-washing, success, fake-it-till-you-make-it, and the roller coaster of finding one’s true self.
