"For countless centuries, it waited for a people to call it their own." Fortunately, White people found only Indians here, starting with Leif Ericson.
Oh, dear. Well, that's just an indication of how people thought in 1944, when this one-reel movie was made. Once that's over, it tells the story of two emigrants from the Ukraine. My ancestors came from that area of the world: Poland and Lithuania and Rumania and even Silesia. And you know what? They came, thinking they would like to be Americans, away from European tyrants. And while this country is far from perfect, it was and is a lot better than where they came from. And, like the family of the two emigrants from the Ukraine in this movie, I remain grateful.
