Listen "E3: A New World Awaits"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 2 we followed the brave women who took the big step – leaving Norway in search of a new life. In episode 3 they embark on their journey across the sea.Crossing the Atlantic was more than just another leg af the journey – it was a turning point in life. Through letters, diaries, and vivid scenes, we meet Gjertrud Rumohr Haug, Lina Svåi, Anna Slinde, Rakel Tonette Atlaksdatter and Linka Preus. They take us from the west coast of Norway, through cramped quarters and stormy nights, to the harbor in New York, where a new world awaits.Seasickness, filth, hymn singing and folk dancing, and warm glances shared between fellow passengers – this episode tells a story of community and survival at sea, and of everything that had to be left behind in order to move forward.Script: Inger-Kristine Riber and Reidun HorveiCo-editor: Katherine Jane HansonNarrators: Reidun Horvei and Ragnhild GudbrandsenSound design: Inger-Kristine Riber Supported by: Fritt OrdSource material available at: here
