The Immigrant

The Immigrant
by Mark Harelik

Directed by Rebekah Scallet

Rural Central Texas, 1909. A young Russian-Jewish immigrant, newly arrived in America through the port of Galveston, pulls his banana cart into the hamlet of Hamilton. Fleeing the vicious pogroms of his homeland, he has sought refuge in the land of the free. Able to speak only Yiddish, alone amid a staunchly Christian community, he begs for shelter. Taken in by a local couple, over the next 30 years, he makes a home and raises a family in this tiny town. As religion meets religion, culture meets culture, fear meets fear and love meets love. This is the true story of Haskell Harelik, the "Immigrant."
