🇲🇽 A Tale of Two Migrations: Chasing the American Dream l Al Jazeera Correspondent

Film by Babak Behnam

Through the story of one immigrant family, we explore the evolution of racism and migration in the US.

When Al Jazeera correspondent Adam Raney's great-great grandfather left his German village in the 1870s, it was with the dream of making his fortune in America. He headed to a small, dusty cotton town in the Mississippi Delta - a young Jewish man in a post-Civil War South where freed slaves lived little better than they had for centuries before.

By following three generations of Adam's family, A tale of two migrations: Chasing the American dream examines how policies and attitudes towards migrants and minorities have evolved in the decades since.
