I'm so there
The other side of the water was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Lots of history and the music is so inspiring. I cannot thank you enough for pointing me to that event. Now I look forward to seeing them perform at prospect park in the summer. I will have a greater understanding of what they are doing. It's like living in history. I encourage anyone to go and see this film, especially if you live in flatbush.
