“His work is among the most interesting to emerge from the U.S. in recent years, which may be surprising considering he is an Italian who has decided to poke his camera into the margins of American society.

“The Other Side” is in theaters nationwide on May 20. You can also purchase tickets to the film’s Art of the Real opening night screening here. Watch our exclusive clip above.
