This 2009 feature-length documentary has been called the first comprehensive depiction on film of the Italian American experience. It tracks the social, economic and political transformation of Italians from immigrant victims of violence and prejudice to prominent members of American society. This story is told by weaving together accounts from members of the community, comments by noted scholars and a treasure trove of historical footage and photographs. " A rich panorama of voices and images from every corner of the Italian American community...", Donna Gabaccia, Director, Immigration History Research Center, University of Minnesota. "Eloquent, awakening and emotive...", Anthony J. Tamburri, Dean, John D. Calandra Italian American Institute, City University of New York.
