8:00 - 9:25 p.m. Film Showing 5,000 Miles from Home - 5,000 Miles from Home tells the riveting tale of a generation of Italian kids from the streets of Chicago who proudly answered the call to serve their country during World War II. In-depth interviews with two dozen veterans are interwoven with vintage film footage and rare archival photos as you follow these brave men from their working-class roots to their wartime travails to the very different lives they led when they came back home. Whimsical stories about spaghetti dinners and simpler times give way to tales of bravery and death on the battlefield, which then yield to fond memories of family and prosperity in the post-war era. As this saga unfolds, a well-earned spotlight is shone on a generation of true Americans who, to this day, remain both humble and heroic.

On CUNY TV
ITALICS celebrates Women's History Month by taking you to events observing the 99th commemoration of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, one of the worst Industrial Disasters in the history of the United States, on March 25, 1911, in Greenwich Village, New York,
ITALICS, The Italian American Magazine, hosted by Anthony J. Tamburri, premieres on Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 10am, 3pm & 11pm. ITALICS can also be seen on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010, at 8pm, & on Sunday, April 4th, 2010 at 10am on CUNY-TV, Ch.75 and RCN, Ch.77 in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, & The Bronx.
PROGRAM NOTES: First on ITALICS, we take you to the official commemoration of the 99th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, one of the worst industrial disasters in the history of the United States, March 25th, 1911, held at the site of the tragedy, the Asch Building, now New York University's Brown Building of Science, on the corner of Greene Street and Washington Place. The Official Observance was sponsored by The NY Fire Department, the union Workers Unite, among various other Unions, and The Remember The Triangle Fire Coalition.
Surviving Family members, Politicians, local School Children and others read out the names of the dead, placing a flower on the very ground where many horrifically chose to jump to their death, as a Fire Bell rings out in somber tones for each lost life, a Fire ladder extending futilely up, reaching only to the sixth floor, with the fire raging three stories higher, a fire that horrifically claimed 146 lives, mostly young immigrant women, working as seamstresses in sweatshops that were unregulated, unprotected and unsafe. This sad tragedy, the worst industrial accident in American history before 9/11, became a watershed moment for union membership and representation, federal legislation and regulation on workplace safety and child labor laws.ITALICS cameras were there to record all of sights and sounds of the participants that comprised this year's poignant event, presaging a larger, more comprehensive community and hopefully national observance for next year's centenary anniversary.
TiPiace's Performance Section: Next ITALICS goes to an Artistic Observation of the tragedy of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire held at the Judson Memorial Church at New York University. Sponsored by the Remember The Triangle Coalition along with many other Artists Collective's and community art projects, the event gave voice to history, and life from death, through various artistic projects and gifts such as Song, Theatre, Puppetry, Poetry, Art and Political Action. This event was also hoped to be a prelude to an even larger observance for the centennial anniversary
