“Hart Island”, is the story of two people on the fringe of society. Their lives intersect on Hart Island, New York City’s public burial ground. Although marginalized by the rest of society, they come to appreciate each other’s humanity-a powerful action in a world that elevates division and isolation over compassion and respect.
Join us as we learn about this powerful story and listen to its wonderful music.
