New York Minute: Episode 4 & 5

104 - Night Nurse from ARTE New York Minute on Vimeo.

“What goes up must come down. Everyone knows that, especially if you are from Uptown, Harlem. G Dep was the talk of the town when he joined Puff Daddy in 1999. But he felt in love with the Night Nurse… 8 years after his meeting with the Hip Hop mogul, he was arrested for breaking a display model mobile phone and spent a year on Rikers Island, without anyone showing up with his $750 bail. Sometimes the night seems endless on Allerton Ave.”

105 - Lost Generation from ARTE New York Minute on Vimeo.

“Staten Island, home of 8,000 Liberian immigrants, might have the largest concentration of child soldiers in North America. US citizens used to see these kids on CNN -carrying a Teddy bear in one hand and an AK-47 in the other- during the Liberian civil war. Ten years later, they observe this lost generation out their window. This story has no heroes, only survivors.”
