The inspiring story of Janek, a young Polish boy who arrives in America with his family in 1907.
Illustrating the hopes, hardships, and accomplishments of many of the 35 million people who came to America between 1820 and 1920, this program follows Janek’s life from his tagging and inspection at Ellis Island, through the brutal realities suffered by poor immigrants, and on to his initiation into the ways of his adopted country. Directed by Joan Micklin Silver.
