How it feels

A Danish documentary filmmaker moves to Brooklyn. A murder sets off a search for information about it. The police and local residents are uncooperative. A former gang member, a snitch, and an optimistic kebab seller offer a present-day and historical portrait of the criminal environment. The filmmaker eventually becomes pushy with the police, who finally release details about the murder.

What happens

Broadway: Brooklyn er en dokumentarfilm fra 2003 instrueret af Sidse Kirstine Kjær efter eget manuskript. En dansk dokumentarist bosætter sig i Brooklyn. Et mord bliver startskuddet til en film om ghettoen og jagten på oplysninger om mordet. Politiet og de lokale beboere er afvisende. Et x-bandemedlem, en stikker og en optimistisk kebab-sælger giver et nutidigt og historisk portræt af det kriminelle miljø. Dokumentaristen bliver til sidst pågående overfor politiet, der omsider frigiver oplysninger om mordet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
