Ellis Island (1997)
Ellis Island (1997) This History Channel DVD describes the stresses and politics of immigration through a sensitive and compelling examination of the history of Ellis Island. Several distinguished academicians, including Professor James Shenton, provide a first-class commentary that captures the immigrants’ experience. Excellent supplement to Ric Burns’ more extensive New York, which places immigration within the saga of a city that serves as an allegory for a growing and changing America.
