   THE 3 EPISODES!
   
   THE BELGIAN SHIPPING COMPANY RED STAR LINE CARRIED MORE THAN 2 MILLION
   MIGRANTS FROM ANTWERP TO NEW YORK BETWEEN 1873 AND 1934. MOST OF THEM WERE
   EASTERN EUROPEANS WHO HAD LEFT THEIR HOMES AND THEIR FAMILIES DUE TO WAR AND
   POVERTY. AFTER A LONG AND EXHAUSTING JOURNEY THEY WOULD REACH AMERICA. YET
   BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN START WITH THEIR NEW LIFE ACROSS THE OCEAN, THEY FIRST
   HAD TO BE EXAMINED AT ELLIS ISLAND. ONLY HEALTHY PEOPLE WERE ALLOWED TO STEP
   ON AMERICAN SOIL.
   THE DOCUMENTARY SERIES PRESENTS A MOSAIC OF HUMAN MIGRATION STORIES. THE
   SERIES IS BASED ON TAPED INTERVIEWS WITH MORE THAN 2000 PEOPLE WHO TELL ABOUT
   THE MOST IMPORTANT JOURNEY OF THEIR LIFE. TOGETHER WITH THE DESCENDANTS, WE
   DISCOVER THE STUNNING STORIES OF THESE RED STAR LINE PASSENGERS. WE GET TO
   KNOW WHY EXACTLY THEY LEFT THEIR COUNTRY, HOW THEY SURVIVED THIS DIFFICULT
   JOURNEY AND HOW THEY TRIED TO BUILD UP A NEW LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES.

   ELLIS ISLAND IS THE LEGENDARY GATE TO AMERICA. MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS WHO

   MORE THAN 2000 INTERVIEWS PEOPLE TELL ABOUT THEIR MOST IMPORTANT JOURNEY OF
   THEIR LIFE: HOW THEY FLED FROM WAR AND POVERTY AND HOW THEY ABANDONED THEIR
   COUNTRY, HOME AND FAMILY IN EUROPE. MANY AMERICANS HAVE TRIED TO RECONSTRUCT
   THE PUZZLE OF THEIR ANCESTORS' LIVES. THE SERIES RED STAR LINE VISITS
   DESCENDANTS OF PEOPLE WHOSE ASTONISHING MIGRATION STORY IS REGISTERED ON THE
   ELLIS ISLAND TAPES. FOR MANY OF THESE DESCENDANTS, IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT

   MIGRANTS WERE SUFFERING FROM SICKNESS AND HUNGER, DUE TO THE UNBEARABLE LIFE

   EPISODE 3: AMERICA
   
   WHEN THE EUROPEAN MIGRANTS SEE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, SUDDENLY, THE ‘AMERICAN
   DREAM’ SEEMS TO BECOME REALITY. HOWEVER, THE CHALLENGE IS NOT OVER, BECAUSE
   THE MIGRANTS STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RESULTS OF THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION ON
   ELLIS ISLAND. MANY ENTRANTS HAVE BEEN SENT BACK TO ANTWERP DUE TO MEDICAL
   REASONS. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WOULD TAKE YEARS BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN REUNITED
   WITH THEIR FAMILY. FOR THOSE WHO PASSED THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION, A NEW LIFE
   COULD BEGIN. BUT NOT EVERYTHING TURNED OUT TO BE THAT EASY AS ONE WOULD HAVE
   EXPECTED…
