When Schemers Become Dreamers

Documentary of the Week | Nov 8, 2019

"Narrowsburg" is a whimsical tale about a small town in the Catskills where an independent film stirred up Hollywood dreams and disappointments. The film plays like "The Music Man" with a dark side. It's one of more than 100 documentaries premiering at the DOC NYC festival running in Greenwich Village and Chelsea until November 15th.

— Raphaela Neihausen and Thom Powers
