The theme of the first program was "History of Roosevelt Island and celebrities who lodged here."
It was not "movies set on the Island." That wonderful idea would be something for RIOC to handle as a summer movie series. It is more expensive to license the movies you suggest than to show excerpts of the Bly and Goldman PBS documentaries.
