In the shadows of the nineteen fifties, a quiet revolution began on the cold, grey streets of New York. Caribbean Migration to New York – Building New Worlds is a gritty, long-form documentary that tracks the transformation of a diaspora from temporary labor to the architects of a new urban empire.
This isn't a story of easy assimilation. It is a chronicle of survival in the face of "benign neglect," where families traded the open horizons of the islands for the cramped, coal-dusted tenements of Harlem and Brooklyn.
