I Walk on Water returns to 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, the same intersection where Khalik Allah has based much of his work in recent years. Centered on Allah’s longtime friendship with Frenchie, a homeless Haitian man, the film also acts as a record of the director’s recent life—documenting his relationships with his ex-girlfriend and a close circle of confidants, including Fab 5 Freddy and members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
