Unity Island

“Unity Island” looks at 1/4 square mile stretch of land situated between Niagara River and Black Rock Canal at the border of Buffalo, NY and Fort Erie, Ontario. A railroad traverses the island from Canada to the U.S. passing by a park visited by picnickers, bicyclists, and fishermen. Shot on 16mm film, “Unity Island” is a personal exploration of the site over time: its beauty, its moments, and its contradictions. “Unity Island” looks at 1/4 square mile stretch of land situated between Niagara River and Black Rock Canal at the border of Buffalo, NY and Fort Erie, Ontario.
