They Saw the Sun First Trailers

A genre-bending documentary using dance and physicality to explore themes of youthfulness, fear, regret and aging. The star of the show is New York. The perspectives of elderly citizens of NYC are interpreted physically by a younger generation. The words come from real-life interviews recorded with a diverse selection of aging New Yorkers.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
