Jackson Heights, Queens: a community that more than defines the American tradition of the melting pot. Wiseman’s curiosity becomes our access to a rich cultural mix in a many-layered neighborhood where 167 languages are spoken, and Latinos, African Americans, Europeans and Asians, Muslims, Jews and Christians, legal and illegal immigrants, LGBT activists, yuppies, and developers with exploitation on their minds, all rub shoulders in a way that can only be described as democracy in action in its most basic, colorful and rambunctious form.
