We are a nation of immigrants! Some of us got here yesterday, some of us centuries ago, and some of us move about from state to state. Hosted by Jeremy Rishe, a New York based actor/writer, American Journey is an oral history of the people who inhabit the United States, and how they or their families came here. It is in our nature to explore and make better lives for ourselves. For many generations now the United States has been a place where people come from all over the world to do just that, either achieving their dreams or not. Our goal is to capture those stories.
 

Original theme music, Immigration Experience, is by Cameron Bossert
