There's a 15 second pause at the beginning of the movie before it starts. Sorry 'bout that.

BornToBeiii has the typical xenophobic response of the mentally inferior who resent others due to lack of satisfaction with themselves. This is clear in his definite lack of vocabulary, which causes him to resort to the repetitive use of vulgarity. If he is such an "American", he ought to learn how to speak English! I venture to suppose that he would have been sent back from Ellis Island for mental deficiency.

I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out my head with that annoying " like ah, yea" suburban, air head, cheerleader sounding voice narrating this documentary. All the kids on this documentary sound like that, many college students now adays sound like this God! I hope they don't go into broadcasting or radio. But the documentary on the history itself is very interesting.

sniveling dribble. I suppose he wanted to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Aren't we all pitiable victims though? Many came and prosperred including my family.

@amarto - a moment of silence for the immigrant blood sweat and tears that built this country?

@lucasandrade6 For sure the U.S. has 17.8 million americans with italian ancestory but Argentine might be more than 20 million. Some sights say 20 million others say 25 million. So it's safe to say with Argentina that they have 20-25 million argentines with italians ancestory (the majority of population). Brasil would be 25-30 million italians. It's never safe to say an exact number when dealing with the population.

@indyfan22k : TO BE EXACTLY::

Brazil is home to 30 million Italian Brazilians, the largest number of people with full or partial Italian ancestry outside of Italy. Brazil 30 million Argentina 20 million United States 17.8 million

@lucasandrade6 Brazil is a shithole.
