THE PARK DOCUMENTARY
The Park
Air date: 2006 (PBS & Educational TV Networks, US & Canada)
"In Every City...There Is An Oasis"
The Park is a documentary film about a neighborhood city park and how its existence effects the people who visit the park and the employees who work there. The story is set in a particular local city park (to symbolize urban parks everywhere) and takes the audience on a journey inside this park and what it means to the people and its surrounding community.
The film's director, motivated by an overwhelming sense of curiosity, with a video camera and a list of questions, decides to set out into his own neighborhood park and talk to the people directly.
The Park presents an in-depth profile as presented through a series of candid interviews and anecdotes from random park-goers as well as a few select park employees. It's an inspiring, sentimental, yet humorous portrayal about life in a local big city park and how it makes a positive difference to a community.
