America, America
Elia Kazan
“America, America!” These words are the vision of a young man, Starvos Topouzoglou, 20 years old and ablaze with the dream of a new, far-off world. Nothing can stand in his way. AMERICA, AMERICA is about immigration, the tyranny of our ancestors’ homelands and the obsessive drive that brought our families to this country. It is difficult for us to imagine the realities of our heritage, but Elia Kazan shows us how the America we know today emerged from our forefathers’ drive for a life of greater freedom and opportunity.
