Hole In A Fence

In a hidden corner of Brooklyn, change is anything but straightforward...

Chronicling the changing fortunes of Red Hook, Brooklyn, A Hole in a Fence is a documentary that explores the complicated issues of development, class and identity facing one of New York Citys most unique neighborhoods.

Its the story of a vanished homeless community and the young architect who documented it; of an urban farm run by local kids amidst a landscape of industrial decay; of young graffiti writers losing their stomping grounds; of the arrival of a controversial IKEA megastore; of a photographers vision of natures renewal; of the doomed struggle to save a rare part of the neighborhoods working waterfront; and of a filmmakers discovery of a fleeting, hidden world on the other side of a rusty old fence.
