The documentary Misleading Innocence (tracing what a bridge can do) takes its cue from the controversial and never fully clarified story of Long Island’s low bridges, which were a series of overpasses commissioned in the 1920s by American public administrator Robert Moses across the parkways to the leisure areas of the island and particularly the famous Jones Beach. The design of the bridges effectively prevented the passage of buses and limited access to upper-middle class New Yorkers with cars.
