A documentary about the courage to leave everything you know behind, the freedom to live, and how the dream of New York changed everything.<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\u00a0In the years 1946 to 1965, many young, unmarried women from the Agder counties, in the southern part of Norway, emigrated to New York to find work. They left their villages and hometowns where material scarcity and pietistic Christianity had affected their upbringing. In New York they gradually became modern, liberated women. Many returned home eventually and brought with them their new lifestyle with them – influencing Norwegian society.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Through intimate and heartfelt stories from six of the women, combined with unique archive footage, we get an insight into their lives at the time. They each tell the story of their grand life journey with humor and wit. The documentary film sheds light on timeless topics, such as social control, women’s liberation, migration, and the American dream \u2013 topics that are still highly relevant today. This is the last chance to hear these women tell their own stories, which makes this documentary both touching, entertaining and historically valuable.<\/div>\n

The film is both entertaining and thought-provoking. It gives us a collective understanding of who we are, about social control and liberation.<\/em> \u2013 Avisen Agder [translated]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
