Many thanks to my friend Try who sent me the link to this on Facebook a few days ago. The Gorgeous One and I just finished watching it and found it to be one of the better things we've spent time watching recently and I couldn't wait to get it posted over here. Grab some chips and a soda (or beer and pretzels if you prefer) and sit back and enjoy an amazing, enlightening, entertaining and exhaustive look at...Broadway, New York City, as filmed on June 6, 2006.
A Broad Way (2007)
Film Description: (From Hulu)
What would happen if you put a filmmaker on every block of Broadway from its Northern tip at 220th Street to Battery Park and documented all 12.4 miles of Manhattan for one hour, the exact same hour, through the lens of hundreds of film cameras? You'd capture the spirit of the world's greatest city. You'd capture a mosaic of characters and moments unfolding within its tangled traffic and bustling businesses; places and people full of life. You'd have the world's first collaborative documentary that shows New York City in a way that no film has been able to before. A Broad Way is also the story of filmmakers diverse as the streets they are documenting, join New York's most creative storytellers as they embed themselves in the chaos to tell the story of a block. Utilizing the largest film permit ever issued in New York City, A Broad Way chronicles this massive collaborative event showcasing the filmmakers, the stories and the characters in one hour, in New York City.

*I had hoped to put the video up here on T.A.T.S.O.L., but the embed code provided on the video-host page, Hulu, does not seem to be working so you can click HERE to be redirected to the video and watch it there.
