SYNOPSIS

Capturing a crucial moment just before the election that would grant George Bush his new mandate, this documentary shows the changes in the social, political, cultural and aesthetics arenas during the last four decades in the attempt to understand how geographical artistic migration, the role of community, the feminist activism, AIDS and the economy have transformed the experimental scene in New York. The 110 minute-length film was recorded with a handcam in 2004 by Cristiane Bouger.
The documentary features an original soundtrack by Wandula, editing by Magno Borgo and subtitles translation by the scholar Margarida Gandara Rauen.
