“5,000 Miles From Home is a touching portrait of Chicago's Italian-American community and its contributions to America's victory in World War II. The story of the valor and sacrifice exhibited by these young men, who left their families and tightly knit neighborhoods to become heroes on the battlefield, deserves to be told. This is a stirring and worthy tribute, not only to this proud "Greatest Generation," but also to the uniqueness of the American way of life. We are a nation of immigrants, and watching this documentary gives you a deeper appreciation for the many ethnic groups who gave everything they could to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.”
