Review of Democracy on the Block

A celebration of human nature using the lens of democracy and the very real voices and stories of NEW YORKERS both native and immigrant .
The hour is engaging - not heavily narrated at all. Content is simultaneously light and thoughtful .
The pace is lively and varied as the voices and nations. It is a mult-national flag - perfect for November's Democracy collaboration but even beyond that - like July 4th.
NB: although listed as humorous, it's more New Yorkous than funny.
