This film explores the Italian-American immigrants that made their home in Rochester.

Rochester offered Italian immigrants a world of opportunities in the late 1800’s, namely through the success of the Eastman Kodak and the much-needed jobs it provided. Families joined their Italian relatives settling in Rochester, building the city and surrounding areas into the second-most Italian-populated area in New York State, second only to New York City. Hear their stories.
