presented by Michael DiLauro
La Mia Strada-(My Road) is a feature-length documentary that offers a
personal perspective on ethnicity and tradition as it links ancient and
contemporary Italian culture with its Italian-American counterpart. It’s a
discovery of how fragile the bonds are that connect a family from generation to
generation, from country to country, even as they search for ways to adapt to
an ever-changing world. Over a period of years, the filmmaker has conducted dozens
of interviews, explored historical sites, sifted through archaeological
artifacts, dug through family photographs, and immersed himself in the music,
poetry, and oral histories of the Abruzzi, Molise and Puglia regions. La Mia Strada links the ancient and
contemporary history of families divided by an ocean, yet united by an
indelible genetic bond.
Michael DiLauro is a five-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker. He is currently Director of the Academic Media Center and Associate Professor of
Media Arts at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
