Across and Down follows a group of passionate crossword connoisseurs (aka “cruciverbalists”) as they fight to improve representation in their cherished puzzle. Crossword puzzles have been ubiquitous for over 100 years. You can find them in magazines and newspapers; they’re online and available through their own apps. In fact, millions of people start their day by solving. But despite the widespread appeal of the crossword, women, people of color and LGBTQ2SIA+ individuals have been almost invisible when it comes to puzzle bylines, clues and solutions. Not only that, but clues can also often be stuck in the past or worse, offensive. But why is this happening?

В американском городке Мэтуон вся работа, которая есть — это добыча угля в шахтах компании. Еда, одежда, электричество, жильё — всё принадлежит компании. Но владельцы шахт хотят больше: они понижают оплату, повышают цены в магазинах, выжимают последние соки из рабочих. Терпение людей лопнуло. Рабочие создают профсоюз, который будет защищать их права и свободу. Работа остановлена. Вот только шахтовладельцы не хотят так просто сдаваться, они нанимают вооруженных агентов, наемников, готовых в любой момент пустить в ход оружие.
