INTRODUCTION

The Extraordinary Journey is a lively three-night original documentary mini-series produced by WVIA that chronicles the precarious emigration of over 100,000 eastern Europeans from 26 different homelands and their settlement in northeastern Pennsylvania between 1880 and 1930. Produced for broadcast during the November 2007 television pledge drive, WVIA’s production proudly celebrates and preserves a foundational facet of our region’s diverse ethnic heritage.
