The latest film of the American pioneer of observational documentary transfers us in the heart of an important decision-making center: the Boston city hall is a living organism where the nuts and bolts of public administration meets the day-to-day needs of a diverse population of individuals. With his signature method, the director approaches this monument of governmentality with subtlety, while by addressing the key issues of an increasingly complex society – racial justice, affordable housing, climate action, homelessness.
