From the article:
New York's Ellis Island, the door to America for millions of immigrants last century, has inspired a major Italian film competing at this year's Venice Film Festival.
Nuovomondo (The Golden Door), written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Emanuele Crialese, tells the tale of a Sicilian family who made the epic journey from their homeland to America in search of a better life.
