See last 2 ΒΆΒΆ of article, re documentary on Azorean emigration, to be aired in March on PBS: http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20101028/PUB03/10280382
"[Ricardo] Rebelo, who is of Azorean descent, has also been working on another documentary. He recently traveled to the islands of his ancestry to document the difficulties that the Azorean people faced in a film called 'Island of My Dreams.' The 60-minute piece highlights why these islanders came to the United States. "Although the islands were lush in semi-tropical fauna, life for the inhabitants, explained the cinematographer, was excruciatingly difficult. Rebelo noted that the impoverished island inhabitants, most of whom didn't travel more than seven miles from their homes, 'couldn't eat beautiful scenery,' so they voyaged to a new, hopefully better life across the Atlantic Ocean. The film, funded by University of the Azores in connection with the Luso-American Development Foundation, will air on PBS in March of next year." -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
