Island

Category: Academics

ISLAND chronicles the first three hundred years of colonization of Manhattan Island and its resounding impact on our culture and our world. Hosted by actor, writer and New Yorker Chance Kelly and historically-guided by world- renowned Dutch scholar and author Dr. Jaap Jacobs, the series illustrates the island that this place is unto itself - not just geographically, but idealistically, philosophically and spiritually. ISLAND uncovers our true, lost American history. Its indelibly unique telling reveals the city’s effect on religious and ethnic freedoms — not just here — but throughout the world.
