made me cry Very sentimental film, I still remember those emotional scenes at the airport where people cried to see their loved ones depart, many of them never ever came back..... going to the airport was no holiday but a long goodbye... well done thanks
Those were very heartbreaking days for thousands of Maltese families. During that era in the 50s & early 60s, when someone emigrated it was like that person died because the chances of returning was practically impossible.
Too much suffering I remember 1949 leaving Malta for Melbourne Australia never ending story ,there was no jobs in Malta except in the service or at docks or seamen ,stone work ,always if you can get one. standard of living you earn the money to eat low wage ,no social service.
Good morning. We are interested to use a very short clip of the video, related to a documentary for a cultural project with UNESCO. Can I send you an email with the details please?
