American Song

Iron Will takes place on one April day in 1907, the day on which the highest number of immigrants to America arrived on its shores. Shifting between an after-hours club in San Francisco and Ellis Island in New York City, Iron Will illuminates the forging of the melting pot of America through various lives: a Chinese laborer, the son of an African-American freed slave, an Irish grandmother and her granddaughter and an Eastern European Jew. Iron Will - from the American Song play cycle (only from Airwayv). Cast Reg E.
