| Summary: | A series of documentaries on the inhabitants of South Williamsburg, New York, whose lives are explored through the testimony of the inhabitants of the poor Hispanic neighborhood in Brooklyn. In "Of Memory & Los Sures", animated oral histories of longtime residents reflect a collective memory of the neighborhood. In "Third Shift", two workers return ten years after the closure of the Domino Sugar Brooklyn Refinery. In "Cooking with Manuel," a Parisian TV host now living in Brooklyn visits one of the oldest markets in Williamsburg called "La Marqueta." In "Before After," various cinematic approaches are used to create a portrait of the neighborhood. In Álvaro, a 75-year old resident feeds 40 stray cats living in the abandoned lots of his neighborhood during his daily routine. |
