America embodies the dream of a better life like no other country. All told, more than seventy million people made the journey to America during the great migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The stories of Hamburg, Bremen, and Bremerhaven, three major port sof departure, are captured in this spectacular DVD, complete with an informational booklet. Why did these people leave their homes, and what was their fate in America? For the first time, an overview of this great migration is provided in this one hundred fifty minute documentary, starting in Europe, covering the crossing, and ending in the Wild West and the ethnic neighborhoods of America's metropolises.
