Song of Roosevelt Avenue is a meditation on Queens, New York—home to over one million foreign-born immigrants and arguably the most diverse place in the world. Stretching over sixty blocks, Roosevelt Avenue is at the center this global crossroads, a place where new immigrants get their start as street vendors, day-laborers, can-collectors, and in the thousands of stores that serve this immigrant population. The film tells the stories of three immigrants whose lives intersect with Roosevelt Avenue and examines the difficulties they face as they begin their American journey.
