How Immigrants Helped Make Hollywood the Film Capital of the World

Feature films are now America’s most widely recognized export, and one of the most valuable. For example, by the end of 1999 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace had earned nearly 500 million dollars overseas. When a major motion picture is released, fans line up around the block in Hong Kong, Berlin, Mexico City, and Rome as well as in Detroit and Dallas.
