An energy boost that 'wants' you to do something with those minutes of perceived immobility. You're riding underground, high speed, from one stop to the next in the greatest city on the planet and you are not allowed to waste time, you can't pass on life, not even in the train, because hey, it's New York after all! So, many listen to music, read, play a game on their phone. Some, very few, talk to each other, and some... they dance. My name is Giuseppe Malpasso, I'm a New Yorker by choice, I ride the New York City train and in this movie I tell the story of young men and women who experience everyday passion and fear, freedom and law restriction. In March of 2014 , the NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton ended the game cracking down on subway car performers. I was there. And so were Paul, Alonso, Jenny and Ricardo. There was desire for freedom, deep respect for the commuter but also their fear to be arrested, to be held accountable for breaking the law. In those days the New York subway system looked more than trains, it was a battle field for freedom. And the struggle still goes on. As one dancer says in the movie: "There is no law that ever gonna stop dancers for performing on the train. You can keep arresting them, but they gonna keep coming back." It's their underground freedom, and this is their story. See less
