A captivating production exploring belief, deception, and the
unseen world beyond the veil

Summerland reveals the haunting true story of William H. Mumler, a well known spirit photographer in 19th-century New York. At the height of the
American Spiritualist movement, Mumler’s remarkable portraits seemed to capture not only his clients but their departed loved ones as well, including Mary Lincoln in whose photo her late husband President Abraham Lincoln appeared. As his studio flourishes, a skeptical investigator arrives to expose Mumler as a fraud. When the inspector’s own photographic sitting takes an unexpected turn, truth and illusion begin to blur in the most mysterious ways.
