In 1979, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude proposed one of the largestpublic art installations in history: a "golden river" of 7,500 fabric-paneled gates in Central Park. A fascinating,and ironic controversy about material value and spiritual value comes to life through city wide debates that transcend 23 years and encompassing every socioeconomic strand of NYC's diverse population. Antonio Ferrera and Albert Maysles' film chronicles Christo and Jeanne-Claude's passion and the poetry of New York City that transformed the winter darkness into a garden of light, color and life.
