What she finds in the glowing heart of their stories will change her forever.With the passion of opera, this deeply affecting portrayal reveals the hopes and heartaches of so many who made the perilous voyage into the unknown. Their courageous spirit calls to us still, to bravely make our own voyages.… (más)
