Description
Rhode Island. A tiny little state with more stories than people. People from Hungary, Nigeria, Poland, Ireland, Canada, Honduras, Liberia, El Salvador, Cape Verde and Mexico. But also Providence, Pawtucket, North Providence, Central Falls, South Kingston, Johnston, Scituate and Glocester. Farmers,
violinists, firefighters, organizers, adjunct professors, landlords, internet entrepreneurs, administrators, cops, nurses, crooks, shop owners. Hopes and dreams, sicknesses, deaths and disappointments. Loves and heartbreaks. Some trying to repair the world. Others overwhelmed by the beauty of the world as it is. All in one place, becoming one people. What democracy looks like.
