Watch "Return to Lucania"

CLICK HERE to watch my documentary Return to Lucania on Vimeo. It's the story of the early 19th century southern Italian immigrants. Through cinema, interviews and historical footage, we examine the conditions which led them to flee, the challenges they faced when arriving in America, and the modern travel destination their land has become today.

The film was funded by the Russo Brothers Italian American Film Forum, the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) and the Italian Sons and Daughters of America. (ISDA).
