Excellent story of immigration

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

this is an excellent story of immigrants coming to this country through Ellis Island. It gives a realistic feeling of what it must have like to sit in the big waiting room, go through the medical exam, present immigration papers and fear rejection. Actual photos are used. I used it every year in my American History classes as we studied that period. It was so effective! Adults as well as students will enjoy this film and learn a great deal also. I like it so much - - that is why I am buying the DVD now that the VCR tapes are not used anymore.

Amazing and very well done!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am not a fan of Mandy Patinkin, but I have to admit that he does a wonderful job with this.

My grandfather emigrated to this country around the turn of the century, This is so well done that I can almost put myself in his place and imagine what he must have experienced both on the way over here and once he reached Ellis Island.

It's so very well done, and the old photographs are priceless in conveying the experiences of the immigrants. It's a very emotional journey; if you had family members come through Ellis Island this is definitely a must see!

Well Worth It

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

I purchased this video to use in my third grade classroom to supplement our immigration unit of study. It was viewed after my teaching of the unit was fairly well done. It is an excellent resource and even though at times I needed to pause and reexplain a point, the children were mesmerized and loved it. They asked to see it again. It made the unit real to them especially with so many wonderful photos, film and interviews. There was only once where the word "hell" was used otherwise nothing offensive. I highly recommend it.

A great film on Ellis Island.. I have shown this to my students to teach them about this famous landmark. It is a very comprehensive look at what immigrants had to go through to enter the US. It was done very well and perfect for my high school students.

Good Tale

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016

Good tale about the immigrant processing station at Ellis Island. Focus is on the people who passed through there, and very little on the actual processing process and procedures.

An excellent explanation/depiction of Ellis Island and those who immigrated

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018

My husbands family immigrated from Italy and entered the US via Ellis Island. This DVD made the process very clear and easy to understand! A perfect addition to any home, esp. one in which children are studying the immigration process. I highly recommend it for both home and classroom!

J'avais déjà signalé, lors d'un précédent courrier, que le CD comportait des rayures. Heureusement, celles-ci n'empêchent pas le CD d'être lu. Très bon produit en tout cas, très intéressant.

I found this dvd the story of Eli's island absolutely fascinating. The number of people who left there homes behind
And we're brave enough to follow their dreams of a better life to the new world in America.
