Doin' Time in Times Square (DVD)

Despite the success of Charlie Ahearn's seminal hip-hop film Wild Style, in 1991, he created a video journal through the window of his Times Square apartment. He managed to capture Times Square, in all of its' pre-Giuliani glory, during a period of unbridled tension, when Times Square was full of low brow adult side shows and arcades, poverty, hookers, and yes, even high brow theatre a block away.
