America: Promised Land

A 2-part, 4-hour documentary special for History Channel about the history of migration to America and how the United States was forged by men and women from distant shores. This landmark series is an epic tale that begins in 1600s with the Dutch fur trader’s deal with the Native American Mohawk tribe and takes us through nearly 400 years to more recent waves of migration post WW2, up to the Vietnamese Boat People in the 1970s. ‘America: Promised Land’ expertly mixes first hand accounts from the migrant’s living descendants, drama recreation, archive, cutting edge graphics, and latest scientific and genetic evidence.
