New York is a secret archipelago of 70 hidden islands
In short: Beyond the skyscrapers lies a sprawling archipelago of 70 unique islands. This documentary explores the hidden wild side of the metropolis, where coastal ecosystems and urban wildlife thrive in the shadow of the world's largest city.
By travelling between the Hudson River Delta and Long Island's eastern point, the movie showcases coastal environments hidden from the majority of New Yorkers. It highlights the surprising biodiversity of the New York Harbor, the East River, and the Hudson River waterways.
The documentary focuses on how wildlife adapts to city life and explores the ecology of 'islands that time forgot.' It serves as a study of how pristine nature persists within a dense urban environment.
