The Making Of An American, Connecticut State Department Of Americanization (1920 Black & White Film)
This black and white film from 1920 tells the story of an Italian immigrant navigating life in America. Limited to day labor due to his lack of English proficiency, he sustains an injury after failing to understand a job safety warning. During his recovery, he sees a multilingual notice at the Post Office encouraging immigrants to learn English at night school. Driven by determination, he completes his classes and secures a supervisory role at Hartford Rubber Works, demonstrating how learning English can greatly enhance one's quality of life and opportunities for success.
