This Week: Graffiti, Religion and Soap. And Sean Penn.
Red Hook, Brooklyn gets a close up as an urban landscape that is different things to different people – a canvas begging for art, a squat, a development opportunity, an architect’s fantasy – in A HOLE IN A FENCE, a love song to the border between haunting urban decay and rampant development; Ikea, of course, plays a role in this doc. CONSTANTINE’S SWORD explores religion as a weapon, and we meet the real Dr. Bronner, who uses soap as his weapon a quirky spiritual quest to rid the world of dirt of all kinds (All-One!) in DR. BRONNER’S MAGIC SOAPBOX. And… Sean Penn narrates the doc WITCH HUNT, the story of a small town district attorney who convicted dozens of innocent working class moms and dads. The kicker? He remains in office today.
