Ron Simon (The Paley Center for Media) and Dale Gregory (New-York Historical Society) introduce the 1941 Academy Award winner for Best Picture that follows the story of the Morgans, a hardworking family living in a small Welsh village. As coal mining and industrialization take hold of their once-idyllic home, the grown children must confront the tough choice between adapting to the changes or searching for fresh prospects and better lives elsewhere.

Presented by the New-York Historical Society as part of the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Classic Film Series.
