On April 26, 2018, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), with the support of the National Park Service, released a documentary video titled “USCIS and the Legacy of Ellis Island” [PDF version]. The video examines the story of Ellis Island when it was an immigration processing center from 1892-1954, with first-hand accounts from those who worked there. The documentary also connects the legacy of Ellis Island to the mission of the current USCIS. You may watch the entire documentary below:
