In the unprecedented times we find ourselves in during 2020, An Immigrant's Tale takes a look back a century ago at an even more tumultuous time in world history, through the lens of the Atienza family, who immigrated to the Unites States from Spain in 1920. This family suffered through the Great Depression in America, managed to immigrate back home to Spain, only to soon be forced to endure through the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent Franco repression.
