VHS Movie Reviews of Searching for San Diego : Little Italy [VHS]

Movie Review: A slice of our own family history
Summary: 3 Stars

At Uncle Manny's 75th birthday celebration, we gathered the family around to watch this documentary program. It was fun to learn more about my husband's Italian heritage. And even more fun to watch his family pick out their relatives and friends.

The program did a good job of presenting community history on a personal level. And it made clear how easy it is to lose one's heritage. But if it weren't for the personal link to the subject matter, I don't think the program would have been half as interesting. I suppose that's true of all nostalgic pieces.

Summary of Searching for San Diego : Little Italy [VHS]

Bordering San Diego's harbor, Little Italy was a community where neighbors were treated like family, and fishermen with bountiful catches shared their fortunes with those who caught nothing. But times have changed. With the collapse of San Diego's once-prosperous fishing industry and the growth of the county as a whole, the roots of Little Italy are barely discernable today beyond a few Italian restaurants and markets along India Street.

Yet the neighborhood nestled near the heart of downtown San Diego is still rich with history and culture. Searching for San Diego: Little Italy captures the strong sense of community values found in this once exclusively Italian neighborhood.
