Susan Kehnemui Donnelly - 2023 - 1 hr 36mins - United States - English

A documentary about 43 immigrant families from tyrannical Russia to the desolate fields of southern New Jersey in 1882. This is an improbable story of the settlers, who were forbidden to own land in the old country, but were able to claim land in America, harness its bounty, and create a legacy that was reborn six generations later. Stay after the screening for a panel discussion with the film’s director, Susan Kehnemui Donnelly, the cinematographer, Ted Salins, and featured Alliance Community members. Dr. Thomas Kinsella, Director of Stockton University’s Alliance Heritage Center will moderate.
