Movie Recommendation

I love this movie because it tells the story of our Sicilian family's immigration to America.  I discovered this movie after my research into the history of Italian immigration, and I found the story to match those things that I learned about Sicily, the voyage, and the immigration process through Ellis Island.  If you are interested at all in the story of Sicilian immigration to America in the early 1900s, you will love this story.  Giuseppe Romeo made the journey as a teenage young man.  Quite of few of his relatives also made the journey. He later went back to his homeland for his Italian bride, Carmela Motta.  Many of her relatives came to America as well.  These travelers left their small villages and made their way to the sea where they got on boats that took them to Naples.  From there, they boarded large steamers that took them to New York, where they passed by the Statue of Liberty and entered this country through the customs house at Ellis Island.  They immediately became part of the Little Italy enclave of Washington, D.C.  This movie will make you fall in love with your Italian forebears and make you proud of your Italian blood.
