There have been a number of outstanding films that depict the struggles of hardworking Europeans in the 1800s and early 1900s. Some great examples are “I Remember Mama” (1948), which follows a Norwegian family making a life in San Francisco, and the unforgettable multigenerational epic, “How Green Was My Valley” (1941), about a tight-knit Welch mining family.
