The rich, poignant saga of ITALIANS IN AMERICA comes to life in this moving profile that follows their journey from Columbus' voyage to the present day. Italian-Americans like Rudy Giuliani and Gay Talese tell their families' stories, and historians tell of the suspicion and fear that greeted the waves of immigrants from the "old country." Rare footage and photos capture the bustling, family-centered life of "Little Italy" communities throughout America. Discover how World War II was pivotal in winning acceptance for America's Italian immigrants and see how, through entertainers like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, the Italian-American community completed their transformation from outsiders to a defining element of mainstream America.
