Summarize what the films were about, and explain what a person might learn or appreciate from watching them. (2 paragraphs)
Faces of America is about 12 famous Americans and tells about the story of their descendants and their families coming to America. Due to new developments in geneology and genetics, Harvard scholar, Henry Louis Gates Jr. makes use of this technology to find the ancestry of these people.
This program shows how these families fought with everything they had to make sure they reached America. This is quite interesting. Some of them had to escape, some came here to ensure their family did not leave, and some of them fought for this country during World War II, despite their race and ethnicity. One can learn a lot about the 12 families, such as that despite being from all different places around the world, it was luck, skill, and determination that brought them all here.
