“ONCE UPON A TIME IN NEW YORK” DOCUMENTARY
Tue, July 26, 2011  
Once Upon A Time In New York is an exploration of a different era, one in which the troubled streets of the city gave birth to three brilliant musical cultures that would become known as Punk, Disco and Hip Hop.

Producer Ben Whalley chose to schedule a two-week filming trip around the closing of CBGB, a toilet of a venue, located on the Bowery in Manhattan's Lower East Side. In the early 70s the neighbourhood was a no-go area: a magnet for bums, dealers, gangs, pimps and other ne'er-do-wells.

You can now watch the BBC documentary 'Once Upon A Time In New York' in four parts on YouTube.
