Сам город, упомянутый в названии, — это на самом деле деревня, хасидская община на севере от Нью-Йорка, которая оказалась настолько успешной в воплощении всех 613 мицв из Торы, что теперь им попросту не хватает места, чтобы всем жить - так стало много поселенцев. Назван "город" в честь рабби Йоэля Тейтельбаума, вдохновителя всей ультраортодоксальной хасидской общины в США. Джесси Суит, бывалый документалист и кинопродюсер, который собирал деньги на фильм с помощью краудфандинга, показывает всю подноготную борьбы хасидов за земли с местными активистами, которые считают, что такое расширение может повредить окружающей среде (а хасиды, конечно, считают, что их оппоненты — антисемиты), а регион Нью-Йорка показан как новый Вавилон, где цветёт сто цветов.

An art world upstart, provocative and elusive artist Maurizio Cattelan made his career on playful and subversive works that send up the artistic establishment, until a retrospective at the Guggenheim in 2011 finally solidified his place in the contemporary art canon. Axelrod's equally playful profile leaves no stone unturned in trying to figure out: who is Maurizio Cattelan?

This award winning documentary, narrated by Lou Reed, explores the breadth and depth of Occupy Wall Street and how it quickly grew from a small park in lower Manhattan to an international movement.

Featuring interviews with a wide range of subjects including Occupiers, economist Jeffrey Sachs and business magnate Russell Simmons.
