Case Study: The New-York Historical Society helps green card holders achieve citizenship readiness with RadicalMedia

The New-York Historical Society helps 13 million green card holders pursue citizenship with RadicalMedia

The New-York Historical Society sought to address the challenge of helping lawful permanent residents navigate the changing federal immigration policies and successfully pass the rigorous USCIS Naturalization Exam. To meet this need, they initiated The Citizenship Project, a free educational program, and partnered with RadicalMedia to create a film documenting its impact.

RadicalMedia produced the documentary "Out of Many, One," which follows several immigrants enrolled in the program and concludes with a historic naturalization ceremony. The film, distributed on Netflix, transformed a topic of political debate into a human story, illustrating how a shared understanding of U.S. history and civics is essential for informed civic participation. The work by RadicalMedia helped the New-York Historical Society propel hundreds of green card holders toward citizenship.
