Description:
"A Home On The Range" recounts the largely untold story of Eastern European Jews who emigrated to California seeking a life as chicken ranchers, escaping persecution and hardship. Even in New York's sweatshops, they heard tales of Petaluma, where Jewish people were farmers, not shopkeepers or professionals. Follow this determined, yet often divided, group of immigrants and their descendants as they navigate the challenges of language and culture while striving to become American. The film explores themes of Jack London, California vigilantes, McCarthyism, the Cold War, and the rise of agribusiness in this classic American story of finding a new home.
