New York City
Inspired by an actual incident reported by The New York Times in 1983, Six Degrees of Separation is a witty and biting tale of a wealthy white New York couple who take in a charming young black man who claims to be the son of Sidney Poitier. It’s a fast-paced ride with equal parts drama and farce, the result being a commentary on the things that drive us all – the desire for wealth, fame, social standing, and meaningful human connection.
