Across the Water

Mona Mansour

A dark comedy about family that investigates what happens when things, or people, are cast off to make life easier for others. Staten Island, the maligned "fifth borough," reveals its forgotten and marginalized history, from the discoveries of 16th-century explorer
Verrazzanno to the hardships of Willowbrook State School to the uncertainties of today.
