Description:
"Crossroads" is symbolic of a young man's passage into manhood.
It is also a place on the Shinnecock Native American Reservation.
Crossroads can lead you to the right path or you can remain there,
with no place to go. This creative documentary was made by young filmmakers
of the Shinnecock tribe.
Biography:
"Crossroads" was produced by four young men from the Shinnecock
Native American Reservation located near Southampton, Long Island,
