Passage to the North  
00:16:00 1981

Passage To The North is a companion film to Plowman's Lunch. It is set in the same location as Altered To Suit, and some of the players appear for a second or third time—Coosje van Bruggan and Kirsten Vibeke Thueson were in A Second Quarter; Thueson and Michael Shamberg were in Altered To Suit. Although there does not seem to be a relationship between the roles each has played from movie to movie, there are some similarities in the situations these characters find themselves in. They are a group; they are under some sort of duress that comes from the outside; they also have access to the media. They are a motley, disheveled bunch, but they are obviously not "nobodies."
