This is one of our favorite documentaries from this past year, and we're excited to bring it to Bay City to kick off our 2025 film series! It's truly an incredible story, and we promise this is one you won't want to miss.
The amazing true story of eight young Rhode Islanders who built and lived in a secret apartment inside a busy mall from 2003 to 2007.
In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside the Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity, and even constructed a wall, smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a clubhouse to coordinate artistic charity, and finally, a 750 square foot "F you" to The Man. From acclaimed director Jeremy Workman and from Executive Producer Jesse Eisenberg.
