In the period between 1840 and 1940 around 55 million people left their homes in Europe and set off to the Americas.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1840 and 1939, some 55 million Europeans left their homes and set sail for the Americas. In this, the largest migratory movement in history, people turned their backs on the Old World to make their fortunes in the New. This documentary travels through a century full of dreams, innovations and opportunities, but also through war, exclusion and destruction.<\/p>\n<p>In short, but telling, played scenes, we hear from the emigrants themselves, through their letters, diaries and reports, as they explain their motives and their experiences. Rare photographs and early film footage have been rediscovered and reworked for the series. Leading experts from the USA, United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany provide the context for the period.<\/p>\n<p>This elaborate multi-part series, \u201cDreams of a New World\u201d tells of the settlement of a new continent, where the grand ideas of equality and democracy were realised, but where immigration quotas were also invented and borders closed, even though the misery at the gates was unbearable.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; disable_custom_paddings_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590590869872{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<strong>Press<\/strong><em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/rp-online.de\/panorama\/fernsehen\/suche-nach-einer-neuen-heimat_aid-21149677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;<u>What the documentary does not shy away from either are the issues of racism and exclusion that persist to this day.<\/u>\u201c \u00a0\u00a0dpa<\/a><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Distribution<\/strong><br \/>\nBettina Offermann<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:distribution@looks.film\"><u>distribution@looks.film<\/u><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Executive Producer<\/strong><br \/>\nGunnar Dedio<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dtable--txt\"><strong>A co-production by<\/strong><br \/>\nLOOKSfilm, NDR, Arte<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Author &amp; Director<\/strong><br \/>\nKai Christiansen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative Producer<\/strong><br \/>\nXavier Garc\u00eda Oliv\u00e9<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding<\/strong><br \/>\nnordmedia, HessenFilm Invest<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,164,179,203,196],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
