Synopsis
The second generation of Italian-Americans makes its mark on America. Fiorello La Guardia, for example, becomes the 99th mayor of New York City in 1934; and baseball star Joe DiMaggio becomes an American hero. The dawn of World War II, however, brings with it suspicions about the loyalty of Italian-Americans. Some, such as DiMaggio's parents, are branded "enemy aliens.", A second generation of Italian Americans begins to enter the labour movement, politics, sports and entertainment. Fiorello LaGuardia beats Tammany Hall to become mayor of New York and Joe DiMaggio breaks the record for consecutive hits and becomes an All-American hero. But with the outbreak of World War II, Italians' loyalty to America is questioned and they are forced to choose between two nations at war.
