One October

A time capsule with easy, humanistic charm.

The election, the 2008 financial crash, the sense that the city is becoming less habitable for the non-wealthy: This is One October's bracing context.

It's Pigeon's sincere approach here and throughout the documentary that holds the audience's attention. His dulcet tone and affable manner allow him to get close to people, gain their trust, and encourage their openness.

Warm, lively and provocative. A must-see for New Yorkers, young and old.
