Sharon Hodges
You know your family moved from one place to another in the United States, you just don’t know how or why.

"The Extraordinary Journey - The Eastern Europeans of Northeastern Pennsylvania"
- Video Episodes 1-2.
The Extraordinary Journey is a lively three-part original documentary mini-series that chronicles the precarious emigration of over 100,000 eastern Europeans from 26 different homelands and their settlement in northeastern Pennsylvania between 1880 and 1930. Presented are the stories of where they came from, why they left the "Old Country", how they got to America, the life they created in the anthracite coal country after they arrived, and their extraordinary ethnic legacy forged from that which they cherished most - family, faith and freedom. The memory of their time has come to define the lives of many Americans today.
