    very well done documentary
    In the hands of this Italian Director, Giovanni Donfrancesco, the Vermont WPA STORIES PROJECT (1939-40) brings to life the lives of those who came to the U.S., primarily from Italy to work in the quarries of Barre, VT. They immigrated in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. The life they hoped for was not a reality given their work with granite as it slowly killed them, prematurely. The film takes place primarily in Barre, VT including Hope Cemetery with its beautiful tombstones that tell us more and where many Italians are buried. Local people, some descendants of these worker read from the stories. The cinematography Is beautifully done.. Music was great too. The end was handled with grace.

    The audience's generous applause after its showing at the National Archives in Washington DC demonstrated how much it appreciated the film.
