The Film

Baltimore’s Locust Point was second only to Ellis Island as this country’s largest port of immigration in the early 1900s. Using archival and reenactment footage woven together with the words, fragmented memories, and anecdotes of immigrants themselves, Locust Point recreates a glimpse of the American immigrant experience in a bustling industrial city.
