What is Restless City about?

Restless City offers the daily life-world of new york’s African diaspora. This glimpse of a world unto itself, whose daily machinations are usually hidden from view, highlights its teeming energy of aspiration and its harsh constriction by financial and social limitations. The film highlights the simultaneous precariousness and spiritedness of life in such a milieu. All of the characters are caught in a narrow web of patronage, obligation, and refuge that puts their morality to the test. Without full or easy access to the “promised land” of New York City, those just embarking on adulthood face concrete, difficult decisions in a necessarily ambiguous moral arena: one is always walking a tightrope, at risk of falling into a vortex of danger and ethical compromise.
