The Best of Families, No. 2: The Bridge

The lives of the three families evolve during 1883 against the background of the emerging technology of the times, symbolized by the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. Their varying perspectives reflect both optimism and skepticism, the latter reinforced when a panic, triggered by a rumor that the bridge was collapsing, results in 12 deaths.
