The documentary successfully described the Golden Venture story with details that further augmented the reality of immigration into the United States.  As the story is interwoven with personal accounts from four Chinese immigrants that survived on the Golden Venture, (Gullin Chen, Yan Li, Arming He, Kaiqu Zheng) the desire to immigrate to New York is easily understandable.  However, the documentary also reveals the backlash people had against immigrants and how unforgiving immigrant laws can be in the United States.  More than half of the immigrants who came aboard the Golden Venture was deported back to China, where they possibly were persecuted for illegally escaping.  In the case of Yan Li, he was deported back to China and then faced forced sterilization.  The risk of illegal immigration is extreme but the fact that some take the risk regardless is astounding.  The addition of all the real clips directly from the incident as well as news reports about it made the documentary much more legitimate.  Overall, the documentary sheds light on this Golden Venture incident and the desperation immigrants have that makes them disregard even sterilization for freedom in the States.
