2026 Italian Film Series - Nuovomondo (Golden Door) at the Norris Community Center

Nuovomondo (Golden Door) 2006 Historical romantic drama 118 minutes

Unique among immigrant films, Golden Door accurately depicts the rarely covered challenges, sacrifices, and hardships endured by Italians coming to America at the start of the 20th Century. They are seen through the eyes of a naïve Sicilian peasant who, along with his brother, son and mother, sets out to reach the land of milk and honey and a better life. This is an intimate and intense film, introduced by Martin Scorsese and the winner of six awards at the Venice Film Festival including Best Picture. Even if you know much about the immigrant experience, you must see this film.

Films begin at 6:45 p.m. at the Norris Center
