It is August of 1895 as Dr. Matt Stafford's ferry nears Ellis
Island. His spirits soar as he approaches the island filled with
immigrants pursuing their dreams. Seeking a change from the routine
of his hospital surgical practice, he decides to take a temporary
leave to provide medical care to those who left their homelands in
pursuit of the American Dream.
Eager to interact with the newcomers, Dr. Stafford is quickly
intrigued by their personal stories of struggles, courage, and
determination. Soon though, everything is about to change on the
island; major conflicts unfold, immigrants are exploited, and a
riot takes place. Becoming entangled in a secret passionate
relationship, Dr. Stafford witnesses President McKinley's
assassination and a societal backlash against the rising tide of
immigration. As he valiantly struggles to find emotional
fulfillment, a series of events will lead to dramatic changes-both
at Ellis Island and in his own life.
Based on actual events, "Guardians of the Gate" shares the
intriguing tale of the people and provocative occurrences that
occurred at Ellis Island during the 1890s and 1900s-through the
eyes of a dedicated physician on a compelling quest for
fulfillment.
