History: immigrant experience
Summary:
Through a wordless series of images, we see a man leave his home country to find work in a foreign land. Eventually he is able to bring his family to be with him. The experience is completely amazing, as the land is a surreal place with unknown animals, vehicle, buildings and language.

This title is in the Knox County Public Library.
