Overview

In 1949, young immigrants and their families arrive in New York carrying little more than suitcases, memories, traditions, and hopes for a better future. They settle in different neighborhoods, but school, their fathers' railroad work, and a baseball field at East River Park gradually bring their lives together.

As friendships grow, the young people learn what it means to live between two worlds, holding on to the cultures and families that shaped them while discovering what it means to become American. When their fathers face unequal treatment and dangerous conditions on the railroad, the families discover that surviving in their new country will require more than individual courage. It will require them to stand together.

Between 2 Worlds is a story of immigration, friendship, perseverance, family, dignity, and belonging. Above all, it is about people from different backgrounds discovering that they do not have to abandon where they came from in order to build a home together.

Different journeys. Different traditions. One table. One chosen family.
