A coral reef molded from human cremains so large it will be seen from outer space, an eco burial site that functions as a 130 acre wildlife preserve, and a mass grave of undocumented immigrants waiting to be recognized: in the US, memorials to the deceased have become as diverse as the lives they represent.

Branch Brook Park Roller Rink, located in Newark, NJ, is one of the few remaining urban rinks of its kind. This concrete structure is nestled in a public park bordered by public housing and a highway. Upon first glance, the exterior resembles a fallout shelter; however, the streamers and lights of the interior are reminiscent of 1970s roller discos. This 55 minute documentary depicts a space cherished by skaters and a city struggling to move beyond its past and forge a new narrative amidst contemporary social issues.
