this review be in response to the submission wonder how factually correct the movie be . saw this movie last year and find it inspire that hopeful immigrant and like my italian grandparent who come through elli island at the turn of the last century and would subject themselves to all manner of invasive inspection just to enter america . it be certainly eye opening and since my grandparent never speak of anything terrible while there . my grandmother be 5 year old and my grandfather 18 when they arrive . i just return from a trip to new york where i have the pleasure of visit ellis island and the museum actually walk you through the immigration evaluation process the filmmaker obviously do his research and right down to the medical exam and equipment and question and puzzle . they be all there at the museum . even the wedding picture and the review board room factually correct . anyone who have immigrant grandparent should see this movie . inspirational to say the least .
