This Mexican documentary chronicles the experiences of the Jewish refugees who came from Europe to settle in Mexico during the 1920s. Most of the refugees came to escape anti-Semitism and the forced economic hardships they endured in their homelands and had hoped that "America" meant the U.S. But the U.S. had just enacted strict quota laws and many of the immigrants were relegated to Central and South America. The stories of these refugees are told via interviews, archival film clips, photographs and other resources. The film also features several narrators who offer their unique opinions on life in their new countries. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
