NY SOUL

America has been a freedom utopia for many, and New York has always been the door to it. Some come in search of their American dream, others escaping misery and war. Some have just arrived; others have been here for decades. Different streams flowing into an always-evolving great river. They keep coming, from Argentina or the Philippines; Puerto Rico or Lebanon; France or Iran; Estonia or Iraq; and other parts of America; thousands converging every day into the great city, regardless of skyrocketing rents and xenophobic politics. This series steps indoors to discover real New Yorkers in their private environment, showing their inner lives and self-image. Together, in their diversity, they form the soul of this city. This is a work in progress by Ximena Echague and Anabella Salem.
