Say Nothing Immigration Initiative

The Say Nothing Immigration Initiative seeks the continuity of Italian Heritage in the United States by promoting reality inspired dramatizations through theater and film of the Italian experience in the United States. Inspired by true events the play Say Nothing tells the story of an Italian American family struggling from the  impact of World War Two when their home country is one of the Axis powers where Americans were being sent over to fight and die. This conflict forces family members to question their patriotism, their heritage and  dreams. The turning point comes when the Enemy Alien Status Act  is enacted on December 8, 1941, which interns thousands of Italians and Italian American citizens and restricts over a half million Italian Aliens in the USA at that time. The play tells this untold story based on writings of those who experienced and researched this era of American History.  Your tax  deductible contribution for the Say Nothing Immigration Initiative will help  promote Italian American history in the United States  which may have been overlooked and encourage other storytellers to document their Italian American experience.  The play Say Nothing is a stage play adaptation by Jon Freda of the multi-awarded screenplay Say Nothing by Letty Serra & Jon Freda.
