“CRITIC’S PICK. A thrilling, transporting love letter from Frederick Wiseman to New York and its multi-everything glory… A movingly principled, political look at a dynamic neighborhood… An epic of a city, its people and the democratic process… By the time fireworks are soaring, your heart is, too.” – (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times)
In a span of 45 years, master documentarian Frederick Wiseman (Titicut Follies, National Gallery) has made nine films in New York City profiling various institutions from social welfare to the arts. Now, he’s trained his discerning eye on the ethnically and racially diverse neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens, and the result is “a study of the public life of a place and its people stamped by a rare inquisitive patience.” (Village Voice)
