Synopsis
The Mackinac Bridge, the five-mile visual poem at the center of this charming story, spans Michigan's two peninsulas. Arching above the waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, this graceful suspension bridge energized the economy of the Midwest, but it also changed the lives of people in the region. Mackinac Bridge: The Five-Mile Poem tells the story of two young boys — who are enthralled by the prospect of the great bridge — and their father, whose ferry business is facing ruin. A bittersweet story of a historic achievement.
