HOWARD BEACH
by John Turturro

Pitting the beast of ignorance and anti-black racism against the forces of open-heartedness and genuine curiosity, Turturro creates a love story that succeeds against all odds, both political and familial.
Howard Beach reaches across the deep moral divide plaguing our country today, and bridges that divide in the most lyrical and compelling manner.
“Howard Beach is a tour de force. I couldn't put the script down. It is beautifully written and the narrative arc is gripping from start to finish.”- Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
