A Day in the Life of the Rikers Island Bridge

A Day in the Life of the Rikers Island Bridge

This video shows a representation of the activity over the Rikers Island Bridge in the course of 24 hours coupled with interviews with members of the Fortune Society. It is meant to highlight the flows of people in and out of Rikers and its influence on the residents of New York City directly and indirectly.  The video was created as part of the States of Incarceration exhibition at the Sheila Johnson Design Center and the audio interviews were edited by Laura Sanchez and Estefania Acosta.
