Far and Away

During the 1890's industrialization started happening in the United States, factories started and people started building railroads. A lot of immigrants started moving to the United states, and had to live in the houses called tenet houses. In these houses lived many people, they were assigned a room with one bed, and sometimes with other families. In Ireland it was very unfair, in the movie the father didn't pay the rent and the person that owns the house burned it down. In the movie Shannon and Joseph move to the united states from Ireland, and have to work in factories and fight to make money.
