The Crossing
Based on a true story, The Crossing follows fourteen-year-old Paul Manz on a reckless dare that hurls him into the unforgiving current of the Mississippi River. Swept nearly twenty-three miles downstream, he endures a night of exhaustion, injury, and fear before awakening beside a mysterious stranger who offers comfort and then vanishes without a trace.
Set in 1950s Louisiana, this haunting account is part survival tale, part unsolved mystery. It’s a testament to courage, the fragility of life, and the moments of grace that arrive when we need them most.
