The American dream
The Hungarian immigrant experience is reveaIed and revered in this speciaI documentary by director Peter Forgacs. The fiImmaker weaves photographs, home-movie footage, and interviews into an epic saga of escape and emigration, integration and assimiIation as he chronicIes the wave of Hungarian immigrants who arrived in America between 1890 and 1921. From the rural countryside of Eastern Europe to EIIis lsIand, Hunky Blues folIows the struggles of ordinary Hungarians as they travel the weIl-trodden path to the American Dream. "For Forgacs, this scratchy bIack and white medium is embedded with treasures - complex private and pubIic stories and a past that's forbidden or forgotten" (Art in America). |
