Miss Ellis Island

In this faux docu-reimagining of the mass emigration through America's Ellis Island at the turn of the century, a young immigrant leaves the Old Country and ventures to America to compete in the annual Miss Ellis Island Beauty Pageant in the hopes of winning a wealthy American husband and gaining acceptance in the golden land of opportunity.
