If Lady Liberty lifted her lamp beside the golden door, that same door became tarnished for the thousands who then had to survive the harrowing experience of Ellis Island. Follow a group of immigrants as they arrive on America's teeming shores in the summer of 1910. Share their hopes and fears as they anxiously wait at the gates of freedom for the decision of their lives.
