The Coop
video, 6 min, 1998

Two Puerto Rican-Americans invite me to film their coop on their rooftop on Flushing Ave in Brooklyn and tell me about their hobby - breeding pigeons - which, they say, lets them "stay out of trouble”. A video about a common hobby in Brooklyn and self-projected prejudices against young hispanics.
