Golden Door (2007)

Italian Drama set in 1913. Starts in Sicily - a group of rural Italians immigrate to the US at the beginning of the 20th century. Powerful photography and realism make this film. 3 parts - preparing for the journey, the perilous journey by boat, and the intense and scrutinizing US immigration procedures. Not your usual film but very educational and moving - you feel like you were there. 2 hours.
