Destination America: The People and Cultures That Created a Nation DVD 2005 PBS

Description: This 2005 release from PBS studies the immigrations that formed the United States of America. This disc is in like new condition and plays perfectly, with the following write-up on back: Their faces have changed, not their reasons: in flight from poverty, persecution and war, they are drawn by the shimmering promise of America. DESTINATION AMERICA looks at the driving forces that have compelled individuals to immigrate to America for centuries and have remained constant throughout history -- economic opportunity, religious freedom and artistic expression. As well, the series looks at the particular forces that drive women to come to America in search of opportunity and the basic human rights they had been denied in their homelands. Dramatic contemporary stories are the centerpiece of each episode along with historic portraits of immigrants who came before. From award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, DESTINATION AMERICA focuses on the world the immigrants left behind, the roots that defined them, and the frustrations, hardships, discontents and ambitions that made and continues to make America their destination. From the time the US government began keeping official records in 1820, more than 70 million people have immigrated to the United States. The migration began as a trickle and the trickle become a flood -- the largest migration to a single country in human history. Today, America continues to open its doors to more immigrants than all of the countries in the rest of the world combined Immediate payment accepted for Buy It Now listings; for Auction or Best Offer items please pay within three days of purchase.
