The World Before Your Feet

Description

There are 8,000 miles of roads and paths in New York City and for the past six years Matt Green has been walking all of them – each and every street, park, cemetery, beach, and bridge. It is a five-borough journey that stretches from the barbershops of the Bronx to the forests of Staten Island, from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, with Matt amassing a surprisingly detailed knowledge of New York’s history and people along the best way. Something of a brand new-day Thoreau, Matt gave up his former engineering job, his apartment, and most of his possessions, sustaining his endeavor through couch-surfing, cat-sitting and a $15-per-day budget. He is not sure exactly why he is doing it, only knowing that there is no other way he’d slightly spend his days. Executive produced by Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg, The World Before Your Feet is a tribute to an forever fascinating city and the freedom to be found, wherever you live, in simply taking a walk.
