Duration: 1 h 38 min

The documentary delves into the largest public art project in New York City, a joint effort between artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, showcasing the iconic "The Gates" installation.

In 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude brought a unique installation to Central Park, featuring 7,500 arches covered in orange cloth that fluttered in the wind along miles of walkways. After a 25-year struggle to gain approval, the gates stood for 16 days, with Mayor Bloomberg officially opening the exhibit. The project's history is showcased through archival footage, highlighting debates and rejections from previous mayors and commissions. Ultimately, the installation's beauty and joy brought delight to the public, with even the most skeptical New Yorkers expressing pleasure.
