Résumé de l'épisode 1

From 1850 until just after the First World War, millions of Europeans left for the United States to flee poverty and war. They all cherished the hope of a new and better life. The Belgian-American Red Star Line transported over 2 million Europeans from Antwerp to America during its 60-year existence. We visited the descendants of these Red Star Line passengers in America and brought with us the original sound recordings. Today, they will be hearing the tapes of their parents or grandparents `testimonies for the first time. Together we relive each migrant`s personal life story and find out why they saw no other way out but to leave behind their European home country.
