Film Overview

On any day, in any weather, poets, puppeteers, magicians, and musicians transform the streets of New York City into stages. Horns blare, cars screech, pedestrians jostle, and the performers ignore it all. The challenge is to make the city stop, and if the entertainment is good and the moment is right, it does. This is a delightful kaleidoscopic view of over 100 entertainers who carry on the tradition of passing the hat.
