America in Colour: Coming to America

Series 3, episode 1

In the early 20th century America had open borders and absorbed millions of immigrants in one of the largest mass migrations ever. This documentary uses colourised historic film to bring the immigrant experience to life, with rare footage of different immigrant families searching for the American dream, including Albert Einstein in Germany, a Russian-Jewish family in Maine and a Mexican-American family in Texas
