PBS - They Came to America Wednesday, January 8, 2003 9:30 - 11:00 pm This program shares the poignant and satisfying stories of a wide range of immigrants to the U.S., from Pulitzer-winning author Frank McCourt to Holocaust survivor and Congressional representative Tom Lantos. The ninety-minute special features interviews with more than two dozen immigrants or their descendants with stories of their trip to America from China, Poland, Mexico, Sierra Leone, Greece, Korea, and many other countries Immigrants speak of their hopes and fears, the details of their actual journey to America, the culture shock they faced upon arrival, and their pursuit of the "American Dream." >From Megan Smolenyak, lead researcher: "They Came to America is not only enjoyable viewing, but also an excellent means of helping us understand the choices and sacrifices our immigrant ancestors made to secure a better future not only for themselves, but for all of us who continue to reap the benefits of their bold decisions decades, generations, and even centuries later. Why not skip your usual ancestral Internet surfing on the evening of 8 January to learn a little more about their lives?"
