"A thrilling, transporting love letter from Frederick Wiseman to New York and its multi-everything glory." – New York Times

Jackson Heights, Queens, might just be the most culturally diverse neighbourhood not only in New York, but the entire world. Its residents speak 167 languages and intermingle in a vibrant, inclusive melting pot. A meeting of Holocaust survivors, a gay pride parade, and a hilarious training class for taxi drivers reveals a vast tapestry of people and cultures living in one impossible place.

The 40th film from legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman (National Gallery, MIFF 2014) is a complex exploration of a microcosm of humanity, and how it deals with looming threats from gentrification to deportation. Ultimately, it's a celebration that such a community can exist at all in modern America.

Winner: Best Nonfiction Film at the New York Film Critics Circle 2015.

"It's no wonder that the filmmaker has himself compared the film to a novel on multiple occasions. It sprawls like a great work of literature, weaving many narratives together like the truly expansive Great American Novel we've never really had." – Nonfics
