Produced by the U.S. Office of War Information, this short dramatizes the uneasy but ultimately hopeful integration of European war refugees into the small town of Cummington, Massachusetts. Narrated over silent images with a score by Aaron Copland, it blends documentary style and propaganda, underscoring both cultural tension and community acceptance.
