The Making of an American
This silent film follows an Italian immigrant who migrates to America but finds himself limited to working as a day laborer due to his lack of English proficiency. Unfortunately, he sustains an injury when he fails to comprehend a job safety warning. While recovering, he encounters a notice at the Post Office, written in multiple languages, urging immigrants to learn English at night school. Determined, he completes his classes and secures a supervisory role at Hartford Rubber Works, illustrating that learning English can significantly improve an individual's quality of life and chances for success. #silentmovies #silentmovie
