Plot.
Based on fact, Passaporto Rosso (Red Passport) details the plight of a group of poor Italian immigrants who are hired as railroad workers in turn-of-the-century South America. In addition to facing poverty, deprivation, and prejudice, the immigrants are also bedeviled by a raging fever epidemic. Finally achieving a measure of prosperity, the Italians are forced to confront tragedy once more when their grown children march off to WWI. Though Isa Miranda is top-billed, she has very little to do in comparison with male lead Filippo Scelso. Passaporto Rosso was released in the U.S. as Destiny Unknown.

Wiki.
Red Passport (Italian: Passaporto rosso) is a 1935 Italian historical drama film directed by Guido Brignone and starring Isa Miranda, Filippo Scelzo and Ugo Ceseri. A group of Italian immigrants to South America join in a revolution.
It was shot at the Cines Studios in Rome and on location at Sabaudia in Lazio. The film's sets were designed by the art director Guido Fiorini.
The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini watched the film, and ordered some scenes to be altered as he felt the film was providing an example of revolutionary techniques to potential enemies of his Fascist regime.
