Swimming Off the Big Dock
Full-Length: Friends gather at their summer place on Grand Traverse Bay in Michigan on July 20, 1969. But there’s more going on besides the first moon landing. For some, it’s the beginning of a new life, and for others, it’s a time to examine how this group of ruling class rising young adults process the death of one of their own and the everyday hypocrisies that are a foundation of their way of life. One small step, indeed.
