3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,891
Nice sunny day.

4
00:00:13,891 --> 00:00:16,852
And the only chance of a shower
for the rest of the workweek

5
00:00:16,978 --> 00:00:19,439
might be late Thursday or
Thursday night.

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:22,401
Get ready for the
second coming of Air Jordan.

7
00:00:22,401 --> 00:00:25,446
Primary day in the
polls are open in New York City.

8
00:00:25,446 --> 00:00:28,408
Black voters are deciding
among about 250 candidates.

9
00:00:30,452 --> 00:00:33,122
John and I
hung out with him one night

10
00:00:33,122 --> 00:00:36,835
for a couple of hours,
and I just--

11
00:00:39,212 --> 00:00:41,172
Giants lose their
opener

12
00:00:41,172 --> 00:00:43,050
in Monday Night Football in
Denver.

13
00:00:43,175 --> 00:00:45,511
Yankees and Red Sox
washed out in the Bronx.

14
00:00:45,636 --> 00:00:46,971
How many sugar?

15
00:00:46,971 --> 00:00:49,057
Good morning. 64
degrees.

16
00:00:49,057 --> 00:00:49,891
It's Tuesday, September 11.

17
00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:51,852
I'm Lee Harris.

18
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:54,314
Here's what's happening.

19
00:01:13,002 --> 00:01:16,172
It's 8:52 here in New
York.

20
00:01:16,172 --> 00:01:18,007
We understand that there has
been

21
00:01:18,007 --> 00:01:20,260
a plane crash on the
Southern tip of Manhattan.

22
00:01:20,385 --> 00:01:22,763
You're looking at the World
Trade Center.

23
00:02:10,318 --> 00:02:13,114
{\an8}I was
just about to go away out

24
00:02:13,114 --> 00:02:19,496
{\an8}of town for that day, and
my flight was canceled.

25
00:02:19,496 --> 00:02:24,669
I went back downtown
and already checkpoints

26
00:02:24,794 --> 00:02:27,004
had been set up in Canal Street
and so on.

27
00:02:27,004 --> 00:02:29,966
I went through and got home and
my--

28
00:02:29,966 --> 00:02:33,929
I lived about nine blocks north

29
00:02:33,929 --> 00:02:37,392
of the World Trade Center.

30
00:02:38,643 --> 00:02:42,189
{\an8}I had my television, big
screen television to my left,

31
00:02:42,315 --> 00:02:43,024
{\an8}and I had the big picture
window.

32
00:02:48,613 --> 00:02:51,742
When I saw the South
Tower start to go down,

33
00:02:51,742 --> 00:02:55,038
I had to look at the television
to confirm what I was seeing out

34
00:02:55,038 --> 00:02:56,998
my window with my own eyes.

35
00:02:56,998 --> 00:02:58,624
It was unreal.

36
00:02:58,624 --> 00:02:59,584
It was surreal.

37
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,375
It collapsed.

38
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,380
The top floors collapsed down.

39
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:41,508
I saw it blow and then ran like
hell.

40
00:03:41,508 --> 00:03:42,927
Thank God.

41
00:03:42,927 --> 00:03:44,804
I'm 69, but I can still run.

42
00:03:59,362 --> 00:04:03,075
You didn't know what the future
would be.

43
00:04:03,075 --> 00:04:05,202
It was so bad that you couldn't
even

44
00:04:05,202 --> 00:04:10,458
comprehend the enormity of it.

45
00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:12,169
That's not the right word, I
guess.

46
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:12,962
It was just--

47
00:04:22,889 --> 00:04:25,768
{\an8}Tribeca was
one of those neighborhoods that

48
00:04:25,893 --> 00:04:31,150
{\an8}was sealed off, which meant
no one was coming back

49
00:04:31,275 --> 00:04:34,570
{\an8}anytime soon, if ever.

50
00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:38,158
Businesses closed

51
00:04:38,158 --> 00:04:41,244
the streets emptied

52
00:04:42,121 --> 00:04:43,622
people scattered.

53
00:04:44,331 --> 00:04:47,126
The air was toxic.

54
00:04:47,251 --> 00:04:49,337
And it would take years to
understand

55
00:04:49,337 --> 00:04:52,841
what it was doing to people.

56
00:04:52,966 --> 00:04:58,348
It wasn't just the grief for the
nearly 3,000 who died that day.

57
00:04:58,348 --> 00:05:03,187
It was a rupture in the
geography of the city.

58
00:05:03,187 --> 00:05:07,984
People were afraid to come
downtown.

59
00:05:08,109 --> 00:05:10,320
Bob and I wanted to help.

60
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,115
We knew we had to do something.

61
00:05:45,486 --> 00:05:50,200
It's crazy thinking it was 25
years ago.

62
00:05:50,325 --> 00:05:52,828
The towers were in our
neighborhood.

63
00:05:52,828 --> 00:05:56,541
{\an8}So at that moment, we were human
beings

64
00:05:56,666 --> 00:06:01,964
{\an8}with hearts broken and
our community torn apart,

65
00:06:03,799 --> 00:06:07,303
{\an8}and a huge hole in the
ground left by terrorists.

66
00:06:07,303 --> 00:06:11,057
{\an8}What the hell could we do to
fight back?

67
00:06:11,182 --> 00:06:13,936
{\an8}And what the hell could we do

68
00:06:14,061 --> 00:06:15,187
{\an8}to say we're still here.

69
00:06:15,187 --> 00:06:16,522
{\an8}Screw you.

70
00:06:16,522 --> 00:06:18,734
And we're going to show you
stories,

71
00:06:18,734 --> 00:06:21,862
and we're going to do something.
And we are loud and proud.

72
00:06:21,862 --> 00:06:22,904
We just did it.

73
00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:23,822
And I think.

74
00:06:25,366 --> 00:06:27,994
more of us have to.

75
00:06:29,203 --> 00:06:30,372
do.

76
00:06:46,516 --> 00:06:51,229
In 1989, Jane
and I started the Tribeca Film
Center

77
00:06:54,108 --> 00:06:56,736
If you look left out of my
office window,

78
00:06:56,736 --> 00:06:57,988
you could see the towers.

79
00:06:58,113 --> 00:07:01,700
They were always there,
which means after a while,

80
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:05,705
you just stop noticing them.

81
00:07:05,705 --> 00:07:08,374
And then one day, they were
gone.

82
00:07:14,756 --> 00:07:17,719
People needed to come together.

83
00:07:17,844 --> 00:07:19,763
And that's what art does.

84
00:07:19,888 --> 00:07:21,806
It unites us.

85
00:07:21,806 --> 00:07:22,767
It pushes back against the
things

86
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:25,436
that try to tear us apart.

87
00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:33,069
When freedom is under
such attack,

88
00:07:33,195 --> 00:07:37,658
storytellers need to gather in
response.

89
00:07:37,784 --> 00:07:39,077
It's creating an environment
where

90
00:07:39,202 --> 00:07:44,458
people feel safe to tell their
story, whatever their story is.

91
00:07:49,798 --> 00:07:52,092
{\an8}Attention, please.

92
00:07:52,218 --> 00:07:57,014
{\an8}New York Central railroad's
20th century.

93
00:07:57,014 --> 00:08:00,018
{\an8}I fell in love with
New York to the movies,

94
00:08:00,018 --> 00:08:03,480
{\an8}and now New York needed
the movies to recover.

95
00:08:06,984 --> 00:08:11,448
The fuck are you smiling about.

96
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:14,493
To me, New
York is the most cinematic city

97
00:08:14,618 --> 00:08:16,162
in the world.

98
00:08:17,539 --> 00:08:23,754
It can be romantic, gritty,
lonely, desperate

99
00:08:23,754 --> 00:08:25,339
or ready to explode.

100
00:08:28,343 --> 00:08:34,767
The city's famous for the big
stuff, the skyline, the bridges,

101
00:08:34,767 --> 00:08:36,978
the landmarks everybody
recognizes.

102
00:08:37,478 --> 00:08:39,105
But I always thought the places
that

103
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:42,901
got the least attention
were the most interesting.

104
00:08:42,901 --> 00:08:44,862
I'm walking here.

105
00:08:44,862 --> 00:08:46,781
Well lit, George.

106
00:08:46,781 --> 00:08:48,450
You hear that, New York?

107
00:08:48,575 --> 00:08:49,659
We don't quit.

108
00:08:49,784 --> 00:08:51,494
Now, how do you like that?

109
00:08:51,494 --> 00:08:54,790
Two and a half miles is as
wide as this cacophony gets.

110
00:08:54,915 --> 00:08:58,795
You see the
world
through someone else's eyes

111
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,963
start to understand

112
00:08:59,963 --> 00:09:01,923
how other people see things.

113
00:09:01,923 --> 00:09:03,800
I'm as mad as hell.

114
00:09:03,926 --> 00:09:05,303
Am I going to take this anymore.

115
00:09:05,428 --> 00:09:09,182
And somewhere
in
there, your perspective shifts.

116
00:09:09,307 --> 00:09:10,684
I personally figured
I was watching something

117
00:09:10,809 --> 00:09:14,188
that somebody else would
never see again in the world.

118
00:09:14,188 --> 00:09:16,149
But it was once in a lifetime.

119
00:09:17,275 --> 00:09:18,860
And no matter
what the city does to us,

120
00:09:18,985 --> 00:09:21,613
we always come back to it.

121
00:09:21,613 --> 00:09:23,407
I love this town.

122
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:35,254
{\an8}The site selected
for the Trade Center

123
00:09:35,254 --> 00:09:38,299
{\an8}was an old section of
Manhattan's lower west side.

124
00:09:38,299 --> 00:09:41,553
{\an8}The area housed a great
number of small businesses,

125
00:09:41,678 --> 00:09:44,306
{\an8}but the predominance of
electronic stores doors

126
00:09:44,431 --> 00:09:46,810
{\an8}caused it to be known as Radio
Row.

127
00:09:46,810 --> 00:09:50,522
In 1966, the demolition began.

128
00:09:50,647 --> 00:09:53,692
In all, 164 buildings had to be
torn down

129
00:09:53,692 --> 00:09:58,782
and generations of power,
telephone, gas, steam, and water

130
00:09:58,782 --> 00:10:01,034
lines had to be rerouted.

131
00:10:02,285 --> 00:10:05,873
{\an8}More than 250,000 people live
here,

132
00:10:05,998 --> 00:10:07,917
{\an8}in the neighborhoods that
surround the site

133
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:10,045
{\an8}where the Twin Towers once
stood.

134
00:10:11,463 --> 00:10:14,550
This area is a ghost
town, totally closed to the
public.

135
00:10:14,675 --> 00:10:17,011
There isn't even electricity in
many of these buildings right
now.

136
00:10:17,011 --> 00:10:18,847
I wish things were normal just
so we

137
00:10:18,847 --> 00:10:21,266
didn't have to think about it.

138
00:10:21,391 --> 00:10:24,228
{\an8}I wish we could just go to a
movie theater and watch movies,

139
00:10:24,228 --> 00:10:26,981
{\an8}but none are open, I wish,
you know, it's hard.

140
00:10:28,024 --> 00:10:31,570
{\an8}It was devastation
downtown

141
00:10:31,695 --> 00:10:35,074
{\an8}in terms of the restaurants
and the businesses.

142
00:10:35,074 --> 00:10:38,035
{\an8}We had a lot of friends
that worked as waiters

143
00:10:38,035 --> 00:10:40,080
{\an8}and people that ran clubs.

144
00:10:40,205 --> 00:10:41,957
{\an8}I mean, it was just terrible
down there.

145
00:10:42,082 --> 00:10:43,750
It was dying.

146
00:10:43,876 --> 00:10:47,589
We started
organizing these events called

147
00:10:47,714 --> 00:10:50,383
dinner downtown.

148
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:53,846
I had this
idea of inviting people

149
00:10:53,846 --> 00:10:57,266
to come to these dinners.

150
00:10:57,266 --> 00:11:00,145
My goal was have a meal, save a
job.

151
00:11:00,270 --> 00:11:02,272
They kept growing in size.

152
00:11:02,397 --> 00:11:05,234
So you got a
sign with four other celebrities

153
00:11:05,234 --> 00:11:06,986
to go to a restaurant, and
you're

154
00:11:07,111 --> 00:11:09,238
going to have dinner in one
restaurant

155
00:11:09,363 --> 00:11:11,450
and then go to another
place to have dessert.

156
00:11:11,575 --> 00:11:13,202
It was like 30 teams or some
crazy thing.

157
00:11:14,495 --> 00:11:17,373
It put smiles on people's faces.

158
00:11:17,373 --> 00:11:20,001
You can't underestimate the
power of that.

159
00:11:20,126 --> 00:11:22,087
Not only to rejuvenate the
neighborhood,

160
00:11:22,213 --> 00:11:25,841
but to lift people's
spirits in a genuine way.

161
00:11:31,473 --> 00:11:34,143
At one dinner downtown,
there was this Con Ed worker

162
00:11:34,268 --> 00:11:37,480
who had lost his son sitting
next to me.

163
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,983
He said he felt like it was
finally OK to leave the house

164
00:11:40,108 --> 00:11:42,569
to do something besides mourn.

165
00:11:43,028 --> 00:11:45,155
That was in November 2001.

166
00:11:45,155 --> 00:11:46,449
Dozens of New York
notables

167
00:11:46,449 --> 00:11:49,953
are trying to jumpstart the
tourism industry with a $40

168
00:11:49,953 --> 00:11:51,621
million advertising campaign.

169
00:11:51,621 --> 00:11:54,375
If it's not such a big deal,
why don't you be the turkey?

170
00:11:54,375 --> 00:11:56,794
- You want me to be the turkey?
- Yeah, come on.

171
00:11:56,794 --> 00:11:59,548
We were doing
everything we could think of

172
00:11:59,673 --> 00:12:01,216
to get New York to
feel like New York again.

173
00:12:01,216 --> 00:12:05,221
We thought,
how do we give our community

174
00:12:05,221 --> 00:12:08,057
something to look forward to?

175
00:12:08,182 --> 00:12:12,563
Could we give our neighbors a
new memory?

176
00:12:12,563 --> 00:12:16,859
Bob and I talked about
doing a film festival,

177
00:12:16,859 --> 00:12:20,155
but this felt like the right
time.

178
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,542
{\an8}Tribeca Film Festival is a
unique opportunity for people

179
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:34,421
{\an8}to join together in the Downtown
community to share their love
for cinema.

180
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,341
{\an8}And if anybody could do this,
it's

181
00:12:36,341 --> 00:12:38,134
{\an8}Bob De Niro, and Jane Rosenthal.

182
00:12:38,134 --> 00:12:41,429
{\an8}I thought it was a great idea.
They had a vision.

183
00:12:41,554 --> 00:12:43,724
{\an8}You don't go into a battle
without having

184
00:12:43,724 --> 00:12:45,768
{\an8}a strategy or a plan. And they
had that.

185
00:12:45,893 --> 00:12:47,394
And I've seen a lot of things
start and just crumbled.

186
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,314
This did not.

187
00:12:49,314 --> 00:12:51,107
This is the time to do it.

188
00:12:51,233 --> 00:12:54,237
It's very important for many
reasons, many obvious reasons.

189
00:12:54,237 --> 00:12:55,363
And so let's do it.

190
00:12:56,739 --> 00:13:00,953
The festival
was an act of defiance.

191
00:13:00,953 --> 00:13:06,084
We had 120 days, 1,300
volunteers, no money,

192
00:13:06,084 --> 00:13:09,420
no blueprint, just an idea in a
neighborhood that needed people

193
00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:10,421
back in it.

194
00:13:10,421 --> 00:13:12,967
This wasn't just about movies.

195
00:13:12,967 --> 00:13:15,928
It was about whether
downtown was coming back.

196
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:17,304
Some
of the toughest things

197
00:13:17,304 --> 00:13:23,562
were figuring out what movie
theaters we could go into.

198
00:13:23,562 --> 00:13:26,941
We had to go in wearing hazmat
suits.

199
00:13:26,941 --> 00:13:29,402
We had
to get the city on board,

200
00:13:29,402 --> 00:13:32,114
business leaders, politicians.

201
00:13:32,114 --> 00:13:34,491
Mike Bloomberg showed up
first just as a supporter,

202
00:13:34,491 --> 00:13:36,452
then as the mayor.

203
00:13:36,452 --> 00:13:38,955
Nobody slept much.

204
00:13:38,955 --> 00:13:43,294
You looked out the window,
it was still smoking.

205
00:13:43,419 --> 00:13:45,963
That kept things in perspective.

206
00:13:45,963 --> 00:13:49,634
Our
city had been attacked.

207
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:53,847
It felt like this is what you
had to do.

208
00:13:53,847 --> 00:13:57,477
There was this mantra that we
had,

209
00:13:57,602 --> 00:14:00,856
whenever people would
get upset about something

210
00:14:00,981 --> 00:14:04,359
or complaining about something
or whatever it was, we'd say,

211
00:14:04,359 --> 00:14:07,572
look left.

212
00:14:07,572 --> 00:14:09,616
That's what we're doing.

213
00:14:14,747 --> 00:14:17,666
{\an8}Trouble don't
last always

214
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:20,504
{\an8}We all know it won't last

215
00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:22,464
{\an8}Trouble don't last always

216
00:14:22,464 --> 00:14:23,966
We weren't sure how

217
00:14:23,966 --> 00:14:26,552
it would feel to go from
a recovery operation

218
00:14:26,677 --> 00:14:29,639
in Lower Manhattan to
suddenly screening movies.

219
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:33,393
We invited Nelson Mandela
to open the first festival.

220
00:14:34,478 --> 00:14:37,690
It really gave us a way forward.

221
00:14:37,816 --> 00:14:41,152
I know that
your media will continue

222
00:14:41,152 --> 00:14:44,990
to bring the world
closer together, allowing

223
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:50,247
us to share in the lives
and cultures of others.

224
00:14:50,372 --> 00:14:51,248
I thank you.

225
00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:56,337
Our goal was to celebrate
the power of filmmaking,

226
00:14:56,337 --> 00:14:59,423
but more importantly, to
revitalize our neighborhood that

227
00:14:59,549 --> 00:15:02,219
was devastated on September 11.

228
00:15:02,344 --> 00:15:05,222
The mission of
the Film Festival is simple,

229
00:15:05,347 --> 00:15:08,768
to bring 50,000 people to Lower
Manhattan over the next four

230
00:15:08,768 --> 00:15:12,606
days, to use the power
of filmmaking not only

231
00:15:12,731 --> 00:15:16,944
to entertain, but also
to rebuild our city.

232
00:15:16,944 --> 00:15:20,949
We invite everyone to come and
join us.

233
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:23,034
{\an8}This neighborhood in particular
is

234
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,747
{\an8}even before September,
was just being born,

235
00:15:26,873 --> 00:15:28,624
{\an8}and now it needs all this
healing.

236
00:15:28,624 --> 00:15:31,628
{\an8}So I think it's a perfect
thing they've done.

237
00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:34,548
{\an8}Now, the great thing about the
movie business is that it draws
crowds.

238
00:15:34,673 --> 00:15:37,093
{\an8}So when you have a film
festival,

239
00:15:37,218 --> 00:15:39,721
{\an8}you're going to have people
down in the neighborhood

240
00:15:39,721 --> 00:15:40,763
{\an8}and that's going to help all of
the

241
00:15:40,889 --> 00:15:43,642
{\an8}restaurants and all of
the smaller businesses.

242
00:15:43,642 --> 00:15:45,060
We live down here.

243
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:48,398
I saw firsthand just how
devastated the neighborhood was.

244
00:15:48,398 --> 00:15:51,151
So when Jane and Bob
called about the festival,

245
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:52,569
it was a no brainer to jump in
and do

246
00:15:52,569 --> 00:15:54,906
whatever they asked me to do.

247
00:15:54,906 --> 00:15:56,908
And that's what our community
needed

248
00:15:56,908 --> 00:16:00,662
to be in a room laughing
and crying together.

249
00:16:00,662 --> 00:16:02,039
{\an8}That first
year, it

250
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:06,794
{\an8}was important to have a comedy
because you wanted to laugh.

251
00:16:06,794 --> 00:16:08,546
{\an8}If you laughed, your endorphins
come out

252
00:16:08,546 --> 00:16:11,174
{\an8}and then you feel better.

253
00:16:11,299 --> 00:16:11,758
{\an8}You just go.

254
00:16:11,758 --> 00:16:13,677
OK. But I'll be back.

255
00:16:13,677 --> 00:16:15,804
I'm really scared.

256
00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:17,806
I've been to a lot of film
festivals.

257
00:16:17,806 --> 00:16:18,808
I love them and I believe in
them.

258
00:16:18,808 --> 00:16:20,518
{\an8}And I've seen it firsthand time
and time

259
00:16:20,644 --> 00:16:25,775
{\an8}again what a fabulous vitamin
B12 injection to the buttock

260
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:29,988
{\an8}they can be to any area,
any city, any town.

261
00:16:30,113 --> 00:16:32,658
Now, obviously, the
neighbors really rejuvenated.

262
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:34,827
More people are walking
up and down the street

263
00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:36,162
than I've ever seen in months.

264
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:38,706
People seem to be having a good
time, talking about movies

265
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:43,337
thinking about the neighborhood,
which is really the whole point
of it.

266
00:16:43,462 --> 00:16:45,464
{\an8}The thing
that Bob and Jane really

267
00:16:45,589 --> 00:16:50,554
{\an8}did was to say to people,
listen, yes, this happened.

268
00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:52,722
{\an8}We're not afraid.

269
00:16:52,722 --> 00:16:56,561
{\an8}Downtown will not just be
revitalized,

270
00:16:56,561 --> 00:17:00,440
{\an8}but it will be reinvigorated.

271
00:17:00,566 --> 00:17:04,736
Part of the responsibility
that Bob and Jane took on

272
00:17:04,736 --> 00:17:07,740
was saying, quite loudly, we are
not

273
00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:10,743
going to take this lying down.

274
00:17:10,743 --> 00:17:11,744
We're going to bring downtown
back.

275
00:17:20,964 --> 00:17:23,758
I live
downtown.

276
00:17:23,758 --> 00:17:27,179
We had started work on a
documentary about 9/11,

277
00:17:27,179 --> 00:17:30,726
and I wanted Bob, who is the
unofficial mayor of Tribeca,

278
00:17:30,851 --> 00:17:33,395
to be the front person for it.

279
00:17:33,395 --> 00:17:35,899
It's hard to weigh what
happened on September 11.

280
00:17:35,899 --> 00:17:37,942
But then he and
Jane

281
00:17:37,942 --> 00:17:39,611
came up with the idea of doing
a film festival downtown.

282
00:17:39,611 --> 00:17:43,782
And I don't know anybody who
could say no to Bob De Niro.

283
00:17:43,782 --> 00:17:45,451
Graydon Carter
had

284
00:17:45,451 --> 00:17:49,956
the idea of doing a Vanity
Fair party at the courthouse.

285
00:17:49,956 --> 00:17:51,833
And that's where the
festival felt real, like,

286
00:17:51,833 --> 00:17:53,668
oh my God, we've really done
something.

287
00:17:53,668 --> 00:17:58,216
Look, it's real.

288
00:17:58,216 --> 00:18:00,344
At the event,
if anybody

289
00:18:00,469 --> 00:18:03,138
needed to know where the
bathrooms were,

290
00:18:03,138 --> 00:18:05,474
they'd ask any nearby
billionaire

291
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,311
because the billionaires had
all had trials in the building

292
00:18:08,311 --> 00:18:10,647
and knew exactly where
the men's rooms were.

293
00:18:11,439 --> 00:18:12,650
In the Tribeca Film Festival,
that

294
00:18:12,775 --> 00:18:17,906
was the beginning of putting
the city back together.

295
00:18:18,031 --> 00:18:22,244
Now it's part of the cultural
schedule of the city.

296
00:18:22,244 --> 00:18:26,123
{\an8}The festival started
as a reaction to 9/11,

297
00:18:26,249 --> 00:18:30,963
{\an8}but it was also the birth
of something very special.

298
00:18:30,963 --> 00:18:33,590
{\an8}What can we do to keep our
neighborhood

299
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:35,175
{\an8}alive and moving forward?

300
00:18:40,431 --> 00:18:42,852
We all had
different visions of cinema.

301
00:18:42,852 --> 00:18:44,436
Jane had a vision.

302
00:18:44,436 --> 00:18:45,437
Bob had a vision.

303
00:18:45,437 --> 00:18:46,855
I had a vision.

304
00:18:46,855 --> 00:18:49,109
{\an8}Marty Scorsese was
involved at the beginning.

305
00:18:49,109 --> 00:18:51,152
{\an8}In fact, Marty began supplying
films

306
00:18:51,278 --> 00:18:54,323
{\an8}for retrospectives and the
idea that a film festival

307
00:18:54,448 --> 00:18:58,744
{\an8}would be new films, but also
classic films, silent films,

308
00:18:58,744 --> 00:19:01,290
{\an8}be all kinds of cinema.

309
00:19:01,290 --> 00:19:04,543
This was part of what a film
festival is supposed to be,

310
00:19:04,668 --> 00:19:05,753
and what Tribeca became.

311
00:19:12,261 --> 00:19:17,349
{\an8}For me, this Manhattan is the
universe,

312
00:19:17,349 --> 00:19:21,479
{\an8}and so everything I see is,
and everything I react to,

313
00:19:21,479 --> 00:19:26,068
{\an8}is filtered through my
experience in the city.

314
00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:29,071
{\an8}Bob you know that when we
were downtown because we knew

315
00:19:29,071 --> 00:19:30,782
{\an8}each other I think we were 16.

316
00:19:30,908 --> 00:19:33,243
Where did you hang out?

317
00:19:33,243 --> 00:19:36,581
Two blocks South of where you
were--

318
00:19:36,706 --> 00:19:38,917
right where we shot,
actually, at Kenmare Street,

319
00:19:38,917 --> 00:19:40,710
Mulberry Street, that area.

320
00:19:40,835 --> 00:19:45,049
{\an8}No matter
what the immigrant group is,

321
00:19:45,174 --> 00:19:47,635
{\an8}the immigrant experience, I
think, it's

322
00:19:47,761 --> 00:19:50,764
{\an8}generally the same pattern of
who are we in this country.

323
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:54,894
What are we?

324
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:55,853
It's a great experiment.

325
00:19:55,853 --> 00:19:56,938
Will it continue?

326
00:19:57,063 --> 00:19:59,900
Can we make it continue?

327
00:20:20,298 --> 00:20:25,804
You've seen the pictures of
me and Fellini and Sergio Leone.

328
00:20:25,804 --> 00:20:29,768
Oh, my God, that's great.

329
00:20:29,768 --> 00:20:32,020
My parents, at a certain point
had

330
00:20:32,020 --> 00:20:33,230
to be moved from Elizabeth
Street

331
00:20:33,356 --> 00:20:35,524
because they couldn't go up
and down the stairs anymore.

332
00:20:35,650 --> 00:20:42,449
So they got them an apartment
in an elevator building.

333
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:43,367
Yeah, on Third Avenue?

334
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,495
On 13th Street and Third Avenue, remember?

335
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:48,623
The first time I visited the
apartment Sergio was with me.

336
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:50,166
I said, this is a grand occasion

337
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:53,128
the first time you're
visiting the apartment. And

338
00:20:53,128 --> 00:20:55,255
my mother made all this food for
him.

339
00:20:55,255 --> 00:20:57,592
She liked him. She he
was a very good eater.

340
00:21:00,512 --> 00:21:03,933
But at that time, this place,
the only excellent restaurant,

341
00:21:04,058 --> 00:21:06,936
for example, in place was the
Odeon.

342
00:21:06,936 --> 00:21:10,107
Everything else was dead empty.

343
00:21:10,232 --> 00:21:13,151
There was nothing here except
the Odeon.

344
00:21:13,276 --> 00:21:15,279
He stayed here for quite a
while.

345
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,449
And as we did, it became more
lively.

346
00:21:18,574 --> 00:21:19,325
Places opened.

347
00:21:19,325 --> 00:21:21,829
People started to move down
here.

348
00:21:21,829 --> 00:21:24,665
So the place started to come
together.

349
00:21:24,665 --> 00:21:26,960
I was here at the time of--

350
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,297
where it was just the very, very
beginning

351
00:21:31,297 --> 00:21:34,301
of the development of the
place, put it that way,

352
00:21:34,427 --> 00:21:37,888
where people actually started
to be encouraged to come here

353
00:21:38,013 --> 00:21:39,516
and also to create it.

354
00:21:44,479 --> 00:21:46,983
{\an8}When I first
moved here,

355
00:21:47,108 --> 00:21:49,652
{\an8}and I would say I was living in
Tribeca

356
00:21:49,777 --> 00:21:52,990
{\an8}and people would say to me, I
thought you moved to New York.

357
00:21:53,115 --> 00:21:55,492
And I'd say, I have moved to New
York.

358
00:21:55,617 --> 00:21:57,162
It's Tribeca.

359
00:21:57,162 --> 00:21:58,872
It's the triangle below Canal
Street.

360
00:22:05,087 --> 00:22:07,423
If you look at a
map of Lower Manhattan

361
00:22:07,548 --> 00:22:12,054
in the early 1800s, this place
was mostly open fields right

362
00:22:12,179 --> 00:22:14,640
at the edge of the city.

363
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:18,061
{\an8}The closeness
to the water, the accessibility

364
00:22:18,061 --> 00:22:21,982
{\an8}of all the piers, the
wholesale food market,

365
00:22:22,107 --> 00:22:28,198
{\an8}all those things drove
Tribeca to become what it was.

366
00:22:28,198 --> 00:22:30,825
{\an8}And this area became a rather
beautiful

367
00:22:30,825 --> 00:22:35,539
{\an8}little industrial village.

368
00:22:35,539 --> 00:22:39,211
{\an8}In the '70s, there was still
a certain amount of industry,

369
00:22:39,336 --> 00:22:43,965
{\an8}but not enough to really keep

370
00:22:44,091 --> 00:22:47,595
{\an8}it going as artists began to be

371
00:22:47,595 --> 00:22:49,263
{\an8}priced out of Soho.

372
00:22:49,263 --> 00:22:52,768
{\an8}They trickled down below Canal
Street

373
00:22:52,893 --> 00:22:59,359
{\an8}and into this industrial area
that was weirdly off the radar.

374
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,112
{\an8}There
were very few people.

375
00:23:02,237 --> 00:23:05,241
{\an8}I mean, it was bleak.

376
00:23:05,241 --> 00:23:11,790
{\an8}If you think of Marty's film
After Hours, it was like that.

377
00:23:11,915 --> 00:23:13,458
But there was a lot of freedom.

378
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:17,713
And you can hang yourself with
it, or you can find it to be
liberating.

379
00:23:18,881 --> 00:23:21,301
Tribeca became a place

380
00:23:21,301 --> 00:23:24,138
where you could live and
work in the same room,

381
00:23:24,263 --> 00:23:27,642
where young families moved
into former factories.

382
00:23:27,767 --> 00:23:31,730
Like so much in New York,
it wasn't designed that way.

383
00:23:31,730 --> 00:23:32,732
It just worked.

384
00:23:36,235 --> 00:23:40,073
The space that I remember,
particularly during the day,

385
00:23:40,073 --> 00:23:41,575
was all trucking.

386
00:23:41,575 --> 00:23:42,909
Trucks everywhere.
Then at night, it was dead.

387
00:23:43,034 --> 00:23:45,329
Empty.

388
00:23:45,455 --> 00:23:50,961
It was really good for stealing
hubcaps or any kind of sex

389
00:23:51,086 --> 00:23:54,465
that you wanted or drugs.

390
00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:56,968
Nobody could see anything. I'm
talking about before or after
hours.

391
00:23:57,093 --> 00:24:00,847
So Tribeca, all of a sudden,
now is like the Elysian Fields.

392
00:24:04,393 --> 00:24:05,936
I said, I knew guys used to
steal hubcaps,

393
00:24:05,936 --> 00:24:06,937
take cars from here.

394
00:24:09,941 --> 00:24:11,818
Not that I did. I'm just saying.

395
00:24:16,866 --> 00:24:19,619
{\an8}In this corner of
New York City, between the Wall

396
00:24:19,744 --> 00:24:21,997
{\an8}Street traders and the Soho Art
Galleries,

397
00:24:21,997 --> 00:24:24,208
{\an8}De Niro is building a film
community,

398
00:24:24,208 --> 00:24:26,251
{\an8}a place for ideas, talent and
money

399
00:24:26,376 --> 00:24:27,962
{\an8}can get together outside of
Hollywood.

400
00:24:27,962 --> 00:24:30,465
When I saw this building, I said

401
00:24:30,465 --> 00:24:33,302
it'd be nice to have a place
that would have everything

402
00:24:33,302 --> 00:24:36,263
like a restaurant, a screening
room, especially this one, which

403
00:24:36,388 --> 00:24:38,057
is a state of the art screening
room.

404
00:24:38,057 --> 00:24:42,062
Don't ask me all the details,
but
I know it is, where a lot of
people

405
00:24:42,062 --> 00:24:44,398
would be brought together in
film.

406
00:24:44,398 --> 00:24:47,568
Creative people who
just by being together,

407
00:24:47,568 --> 00:24:49,570
things would-- ideas would come
up

408
00:24:49,696 --> 00:24:51,949
and projects and so on that we
don't even

409
00:24:52,074 --> 00:24:53,826
know what they would be.

410
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,994
I mean, the whole thing will
take on a life of its own.

411
00:25:05,589 --> 00:25:08,593
Jane and I started working
together.

412
00:25:08,593 --> 00:25:11,346
I saw this building and
I thought, oh, gee, it'd

413
00:25:11,346 --> 00:25:13,932
be great if we could do
something.

414
00:25:14,057 --> 00:25:16,102
It was my dream.

415
00:25:16,102 --> 00:25:19,939
And we actually got it done.

416
00:25:20,064 --> 00:25:23,819
I grew up in
the village a few blocks North.

417
00:25:23,819 --> 00:25:26,071
{\an8}In the late '70s, I was looking
around for gym space to train

418
00:25:26,196 --> 00:25:28,533
{\an8}for Raging Bull.

419
00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:31,369
{\an8}That's when I fell for the
neighborhood.

420
00:25:36,167 --> 00:25:39,963
The
neighborhood
was the mercantile and butter

421
00:25:40,088 --> 00:25:42,549
and egg district.

422
00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:46,137
This building was the former
Martinson Coffee and Tetley

423
00:25:46,262 --> 00:25:48,181
Tea building.

424
00:25:48,306 --> 00:25:50,934
If you walked by this block, it
really

425
00:25:50,934 --> 00:25:54,146
did smell of coffee roasting.

426
00:25:54,146 --> 00:25:56,148
If you walked a little further
South,

427
00:25:56,148 --> 00:25:59,110
you got to the Nutt district.

428
00:25:59,110 --> 00:26:01,404
The whole point was

429
00:26:01,404 --> 00:26:04,325
to build a place for
independent film in New York.

430
00:26:04,325 --> 00:26:06,285
People from LA always said New

431
00:26:06,285 --> 00:26:07,787
York's a nice place to visit,

432
00:26:07,787 --> 00:26:10,290
I wouldn't want to live there.
Well, that was how it went for
me.

433
00:26:10,415 --> 00:26:14,252
LA is a nice place to visit. I
wouldn't want to live there.

434
00:26:14,252 --> 00:26:15,004
We want it to be down here.

435
00:26:15,004 --> 00:26:19,175
It was more unique, special.

436
00:26:19,175 --> 00:26:21,845
This building seemed perfect.

437
00:26:21,970 --> 00:26:24,598
What we
did is take a manufacturing

438
00:26:24,723 --> 00:26:26,935
building that was actually
for physical manufacturing

439
00:26:26,935 --> 00:26:33,192
and turn it into a place of
creating and manufacturing

440
00:26:33,317 --> 00:26:35,194
stories and creativity.

441
00:26:56,260 --> 00:27:00,890
The first festival was only four
days.

442
00:27:00,890 --> 00:27:03,060
And then we had to immediately
start the second festival.

443
00:27:07,064 --> 00:27:11,987
It is my pleasure to announce
the second annual Tribeca

444
00:27:11,987 --> 00:27:16,909
Film Festival will be returning
to Lower Manhattan this spring.

445
00:27:17,034 --> 00:27:21,915
{\an8}Slowly, it began
to craft a celebrity aura to it.

446
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,754
{\an8}It went from this emotional 9/11
experience to becoming a very

447
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,131
{\an8}valid festival.

448
00:27:29,674 --> 00:27:34,472
{\an8}Tribeca helped give
respect to documentaries.

449
00:27:34,597 --> 00:27:37,892
{\an8}It became part of the business.

450
00:27:38,017 --> 00:27:38,643
{\an8}Find out who made it.

451
00:27:38,643 --> 00:27:40,562
{\an8}Find out what else they've done.

452
00:27:40,562 --> 00:27:42,856
{\an8}Here's a name you never heard of
before.

453
00:27:42,981 --> 00:27:46,778
{\an8}Virunga it's a story
about a British oil company that

454
00:27:46,778 --> 00:27:50,031
{\an8}was illegally exploring for
oil within a national park.

455
00:27:50,031 --> 00:27:53,911
There was a lot of people
that didn't want this film

456
00:27:54,036 --> 00:27:54,953
to see the light of day.

457
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:59,042
A year after the film launched
at Tribeca,

458
00:27:59,042 --> 00:28:02,379
SOCO international formally
withdrew from the Virunga
National Park.

459
00:28:02,379 --> 00:28:06,884
And then people started talking
about the film as an awards
contender.

460
00:28:06,884 --> 00:28:09,930
{\an8}There's a
contingent of filmmakers you
know

461
00:28:10,055 --> 00:28:11,556
{\an8}will show up at Tribeca.

462
00:28:11,681 --> 00:28:14,352
{\an8}They're the cream of the
crop of Film Festival talent.

463
00:28:14,352 --> 00:28:18,481
{\an8}Taxi to the Dark Side, it
had the premiere at Tribeca,

464
00:28:18,606 --> 00:28:20,359
{\an8}went on to win the Oscars.

465
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,077
Just thought that this would
be a helpful time for us all

466
00:28:29,202 --> 00:28:33,374
to now that the first
screenings are up to actually

467
00:28:33,499 --> 00:28:35,501
look at it day by day.

468
00:28:35,501 --> 00:28:38,713
Are we front loading things
that we think are impactful?

469
00:28:38,713 --> 00:28:40,799
Does every day have a good
balance?

470
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:42,592
I think we've
really

471
00:28:42,592 --> 00:28:45,805
become a discovery festival.

472
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:48,724
{\an8}It's the part of the job that
I think is the most exciting

473
00:28:48,850 --> 00:28:52,563
{\an8}is that we could potentially be
changing

474
00:28:52,563 --> 00:28:56,776
{\an8}someone's life, changing
culture, putting fingerprints

475
00:28:56,776 --> 00:29:00,738
{\an8}on what the film culture
in this country looks like.

476
00:29:00,738 --> 00:29:03,492
{\an8}Voice of the Rainbow,
Mouthful of Gold, The Long Haul,

477
00:29:03,492 --> 00:29:06,120
{\an8}those are the ones I see
on this list that could

478
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:08,665
{\an8}go into a 250 to 350 size.

479
00:29:08,665 --> 00:29:11,334
{\an8}An iconoclast could fill
one of those Sunday slots.

480
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:12,711
{\an8}Hi. My name is Damien Chazelle.

481
00:29:12,836 --> 00:29:16,466
{\an8}I'm the writer and director of
Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench

482
00:29:16,591 --> 00:29:19,010
{\an8}and this is my first
Tribeca Film Festival.

483
00:29:19,135 --> 00:29:20,178
{\an8}One of my first years

484
00:29:20,178 --> 00:29:22,306
{\an8}we saw Damien Chazelle's
first film, Guy and Madeline

485
00:29:22,306 --> 00:29:24,808
{\an8}on a Park Bench.

486
00:29:24,808 --> 00:29:28,188
{\an8}He's gone on to such
incredible success since then.

487
00:29:28,188 --> 00:29:30,190
{\an8}Mind boggling.

488
00:29:30,315 --> 00:29:33,986
{\an8}There's a whole lot of
filmmakers that have started
here.

489
00:29:33,986 --> 00:29:37,823
{\an8}Ryan Coogler had his first short
here, which was called Locks.

490
00:29:37,823 --> 00:29:41,411
{\an8}We chose writer director
Nia DaCosta's Little Woods.

491
00:29:41,411 --> 00:29:43,997
{\an8}Nia DaCosta, she's

492
00:29:43,997 --> 00:29:47,835
{\an8}a wonderful filmmaker that
has since completely blown up.

493
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,170
{\an8}Oh, wow.

494
00:29:49,170 --> 00:29:51,256
{\an8}Winning something
like that on your first film

495
00:29:51,381 --> 00:29:55,427
{\an8}is so impactful.

496
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:57,597
{\an8}It makes people pay attention.

497
00:29:57,722 --> 00:30:00,016
{\an8}It's one of the things I really
love about Tribeca

498
00:30:00,016 --> 00:30:03,729
{\an8}is that they genuinely
are focused in expanding

499
00:30:03,729 --> 00:30:05,940
{\an8}the kinds of films that we get
to see

500
00:30:05,940 --> 00:30:08,235
{\an8}and from different kinds of
people.

501
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,822
My career was made there because
that's where I sold my film,

502
00:30:11,947 --> 00:30:15,660
and that really changed my
trajectory.

503
00:30:15,785 --> 00:30:18,621
We just kept
doing what we set out to do,

504
00:30:18,621 --> 00:30:21,250
finding new voices, new ways to
tell

505
00:30:21,375 --> 00:30:26,130
stories, different perspectives,
people with something to say.

506
00:30:29,634 --> 00:30:31,553
We'd like to present the
Founders Award

507
00:30:31,553 --> 00:30:33,514
for best narrative feature.

508
00:30:33,639 --> 00:30:38,645
The winner will receive 25,000,
as
well as an art award valued at
$50,000.

509
00:30:39,938 --> 00:30:42,149
{\an8}The art
awards program is something

510
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:44,777
{\an8}that Jane conceived of
in the very early days

511
00:30:44,777 --> 00:30:47,321
{\an8}because we are a competitive
festival.

512
00:30:51,535 --> 00:30:53,328
{\an8}Every year, approximately 10
artists

513
00:30:53,453 --> 00:30:57,625
{\an8}contribute original artwork from
their collection or something

514
00:30:57,625 --> 00:30:59,669
{\an8}that they make for the festival,
and it

515
00:30:59,669 --> 00:31:02,088
{\an8}serves as a filmmaker prize.

516
00:31:02,214 --> 00:31:05,801
{\an8}It's really one art form
celebrating another.

517
00:31:05,926 --> 00:31:08,012
{\an8}Viable piece
of art,

518
00:31:08,012 --> 00:31:10,515
{\an8}it's a nice thing to give to
somebody.

519
00:31:10,515 --> 00:31:13,185
{\an8}It grows with them.

520
00:31:13,185 --> 00:31:15,897
{\an8}I never had a sense of
community in my life.

521
00:31:16,022 --> 00:31:18,941
{\an8}To be a part of the Tribeca Film
Festival,

522
00:31:18,941 --> 00:31:21,945
{\an8}and to be a part of what
it did for other people,

523
00:31:21,945 --> 00:31:23,947
{\an8}I was very proud to be part of
that.

524
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,883
{\an8}- How's it going?
- How are you doing?

525
00:31:40,008 --> 00:31:41,676
{\an8}When I first
started at the festival,

526
00:31:41,676 --> 00:31:47,767
{\an8}most of the films we showed
were on 35 or 16 millimeter.

527
00:31:47,892 --> 00:31:50,854
{\an8}When digital came along, that
opened up

528
00:31:50,854 --> 00:31:53,398
{\an8}the ability to make films
for so many more people.

529
00:31:59,447 --> 00:32:03,702
The more people who are making
films, stories that

530
00:32:03,828 --> 00:32:07,373
are being told, the more
different types of stories

531
00:32:07,373 --> 00:32:07,998
you're going to get.

532
00:32:11,002 --> 00:32:12,379
Part of what a festival
does

533
00:32:12,504 --> 00:32:16,551
is bring people together
to watch all kinds of films

534
00:32:16,676 --> 00:32:18,678
and have discussions afterwards
and hear

535
00:32:18,678 --> 00:32:23,058
what a filmmaker was thinking
and engage

536
00:32:23,058 --> 00:32:27,021
in some real interesting
conversations.

537
00:32:27,021 --> 00:32:32,611
{\an8}That night, I was the
happiest moment of my life.

538
00:32:32,736 --> 00:32:35,239
{\an8}Ladies and
gentlemen, please give it up

539
00:32:35,239 --> 00:32:40,620
{\an8}for the director and cast of The
Godfather and The Godfather Part
two.

540
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:43,165
{\an8}I've been asked by big shots,
how

541
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:47,545
{\an8}do you make a film that is
successful financially and also

542
00:32:47,545 --> 00:32:48,504
{\an8}artistically?

543
00:32:48,629 --> 00:32:51,341
{\an8}And I said to him, risk.

544
00:32:54,595 --> 00:32:56,472
{\an8}Michael, Michael.

545
00:33:25,672 --> 00:33:31,262
Good evening, everyone, and
welcome to the 25th Tribeca
festival.

546
00:33:32,932 --> 00:33:35,726
It's hard to believe that
it's been half a century

547
00:33:35,851 --> 00:33:38,688
since the brilliant Martin
Scorsese delivered us

548
00:33:38,688 --> 00:33:42,526
Taxi Driver, starring our
very own Robert De Niro.

549
00:33:46,572 --> 00:33:51,370
They are joined here tonight
by other incredible artists

550
00:33:51,495 --> 00:33:55,541
at the heart of Taxi Driver,
Jodie Foster and Paul Schrader.

551
00:33:59,128 --> 00:34:02,299
{\an8}Jody was only 12 years old
when she starred in Taxi

552
00:34:02,299 --> 00:34:06,053
{\an8}Driver and Paul, the
extraordinary screenwriter

553
00:34:06,053 --> 00:34:08,640
{\an8}who brought Taxi Driver
to life in a singular

554
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,393
{\an8}force of American cinema.

555
00:34:11,393 --> 00:34:14,730
Please join me in welcoming
Martin Scorsese, Robert De

556
00:34:14,856 --> 00:34:20,070
Niro, Jodie Foster, Paul
Schrader, and W. Kamau Bell.

557
00:34:24,324 --> 00:34:27,745
Taxi Driver is about
a disaffected young man

558
00:34:27,871 --> 00:34:29,080
who has problems connecting
romantically

559
00:34:29,205 --> 00:34:34,420
with women and hyperfocuses on
politicians in the wrong ways

560
00:34:34,545 --> 00:34:36,714
and wants to be the hero in his
own story.

561
00:34:36,839 --> 00:34:39,092
{\an8}Why do you think this is
relevant today?

562
00:34:41,094 --> 00:34:43,805
{\an8}There's something absolutely
100% true

563
00:34:43,805 --> 00:34:48,769
{\an8}and authentic about the
character's disaffection and

564
00:34:48,769 --> 00:34:52,941
{\an8}loneliness that I didn't really
understand
but that I knew was really true.

565
00:34:52,941 --> 00:34:54,943
Mr. Scorsese, what do you think?

566
00:34:55,068 --> 00:34:55,987
Why is this film endured?

567
00:34:56,112 --> 00:34:58,948
When I saw the cab, I began to
realize

568
00:34:58,948 --> 00:35:02,328
that it's that arc of despair.

569
00:35:02,328 --> 00:35:05,539
New York in the summer
has got great steam.

570
00:35:07,291 --> 00:35:09,085
The steam comes up and
the cab came through.

571
00:35:09,211 --> 00:35:13,131
I said, oh my God, look at that.
And somebody said, oh, it's
supposed

572
00:35:13,256 --> 00:35:15,885
to be the hell metaphor. I
wasn't making a metaphor.

573
00:35:16,010 --> 00:35:19,305
It's the cab coming through the
steam.

574
00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:20,474
Really it was.

575
00:35:20,474 --> 00:35:23,143
Can we spare some words for
that era of New York City,

576
00:35:23,268 --> 00:35:25,312
and what it was like to film in
that era?

577
00:35:25,312 --> 00:35:28,107
There was something in
the shoot of the film,

578
00:35:28,107 --> 00:35:31,402
and you could feel in the
temperature,

579
00:35:31,528 --> 00:35:35,074
you could feel a violence all
around you,

580
00:35:35,074 --> 00:35:36,826
and you could taste it in a way.

581
00:35:36,826 --> 00:35:38,453
And it was the city.

582
00:35:38,578 --> 00:35:40,747
It was falling apart.

583
00:35:40,747 --> 00:35:42,207
{\an8}Really was falling apart.

584
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:44,335
{\an8}I was sitting there in the
village saying,

585
00:35:44,335 --> 00:35:45,670
{\an8}this is the greatest
fucking place on Earth.

586
00:35:48,798 --> 00:35:49,674
{\an8}It really was.

587
00:35:51,218 --> 00:35:53,512
So I'm not going to be
able to leave here alive if I

588
00:35:53,512 --> 00:35:56,599
don't ask about one scene in
particular from Taxi Driver.

589
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:57,475
Do you remember?

590
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,476
I think so.

591
00:35:59,894 --> 00:36:02,857
Would you happen to remember
what the famous line from that
scene is?

592
00:36:02,982 --> 00:36:04,608
Yes, I know it.

593
00:36:07,946 --> 00:36:09,197
Are you talking to me?

594
00:36:14,912 --> 00:36:18,499
I'll add one more thing.

595
00:36:18,624 --> 00:36:18,916
I'm the only one here.

596
00:36:19,918 --> 00:36:20,878
That's the point.

597
00:36:21,003 --> 00:36:23,547
That was the point. You're
right.

598
00:36:32,641 --> 00:36:34,977
It didn't
matter
how much we expanded or grew.

599
00:36:34,977 --> 00:36:37,605
We never forgot where we came
from.

600
00:36:37,730 --> 00:36:40,233
{\an8}You're opening
up the festival this year

601
00:36:40,233 --> 00:36:43,486
{\an8}with a movie, United 93,
which, of course, tells

602
00:36:43,486 --> 00:36:46,324
{\an8}the story of the flight that
crashed in Pennsylvania.

603
00:36:46,449 --> 00:36:49,035
{\an8}You couldn't think of not
opening

604
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,915
{\an8}the festival with the movie,
let's put it that way.

605
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:55,709
{\an8}We
invited all the families

606
00:36:55,834 --> 00:36:58,463
{\an8}to come to the festival.

607
00:36:58,463 --> 00:37:00,798
They never felt part
of the national grief.

608
00:37:00,798 --> 00:37:03,844
That was for the Pentagon.

609
00:37:03,844 --> 00:37:04,845
It was for New York.

610
00:37:04,845 --> 00:37:08,516
They didn't talk about United
93.

611
00:37:08,642 --> 00:37:12,771
This is a movie to see,
to be strong, to be strong.

612
00:37:12,771 --> 00:37:14,607
Not to be afraid of nobody.

613
00:37:18,277 --> 00:37:21,782
{\an8}There
were sobs in that theater.

614
00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:25,035
{\an8}It was people grieving.

615
00:37:25,035 --> 00:37:26,871
{\an8}We were there for each other.

616
00:37:26,871 --> 00:37:32,253
{\an8}Collectively, singularly.

617
00:37:32,378 --> 00:37:34,964
Harkens back to why we built
the festival in the first place.

618
00:37:42,097 --> 00:37:45,268
Tribeca is not actually a
triangle.

619
00:37:45,393 --> 00:37:50,274
It's a quadrilateral that speaks
to exactly what Tribeca is.

620
00:37:50,399 --> 00:37:54,027
It's just little tilted,
a little quirky, a little

621
00:37:54,027 --> 00:37:55,947
surprising, unexpected.

622
00:37:56,072 --> 00:37:59,659
It isn't just borders on a map.

623
00:37:59,784 --> 00:38:00,118
It's a feeling.

624
00:38:00,118 --> 00:38:02,830
It's a vibe.

625
00:38:02,955 --> 00:38:07,251
At the heart, we are about a
community, and bringing people
together.

626
00:38:07,251 --> 00:38:09,754
And there's nothing
like a New York audience

627
00:38:09,754 --> 00:38:13,843
because it's as diverse as every
point of view that can exist in
the world.

628
00:38:13,968 --> 00:38:15,678
It's here in New York.

629
00:38:15,678 --> 00:38:18,097
I feel like we're
an audience festival.

630
00:38:18,097 --> 00:38:19,140
First festival,
it

631
00:38:19,265 --> 00:38:22,603
was about how many people
we could bring downtown.

632
00:38:22,603 --> 00:38:24,938
That first year, David Bowie
played.

633
00:38:30,153 --> 00:38:31,112
{\an8}How you doing.

634
00:38:31,112 --> 00:38:33,490
{\an8}Having a good time?

635
00:38:33,616 --> 00:38:36,243
{\an8}Music became
part of the festival going

636
00:38:36,243 --> 00:38:40,290
{\an8}forward because it was a way to
celebrate,

637
00:38:40,290 --> 00:38:43,001
{\an8}and we needed to start to feel
good again.

638
00:38:43,126 --> 00:38:45,713
{\an8}Elton John
performed,

639
00:38:45,838 --> 00:38:49,383
{\an8}and he played your song and
dedicated it to New York City.

640
00:38:49,383 --> 00:38:51,053
{\an8}This one's for you with my love.

641
00:38:52,804 --> 00:38:55,515
And now we have Taylor Swift
and Miley Cyrus coming.

642
00:38:55,515 --> 00:39:00,521
And we had Nas come with
his Time Is Illmatic film.

643
00:39:00,647 --> 00:39:02,149
Nas is New York.

644
00:39:02,149 --> 00:39:03,651
Hip hop is New York.

645
00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:07,363
{\an8}Opening the Tribeca Film
Festival,

646
00:39:07,363 --> 00:39:11,492
{\an8}Robert De Niro comes out
and introduces the film.

647
00:39:11,618 --> 00:39:14,330
{\an8}This film tells the story
of the making of an artist

648
00:39:14,330 --> 00:39:16,749
{\an8}and the making of an album
here in our hometown.

649
00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:20,212
{\an8}It was a surreal
moment, to say the least.

650
00:39:20,337 --> 00:39:22,297
{\an8}I want to thank Robert De Niro.

651
00:39:22,297 --> 00:39:23,966
{\an8}He plays me in all his movies.

652
00:39:26,552 --> 00:39:30,891
{\an8}Artists in the city were
born with this obligation

653
00:39:31,016 --> 00:39:33,977
{\an8}to represent New York.

654
00:39:33,977 --> 00:39:37,565
{\an8}You have to express it in your
art.

655
00:39:37,690 --> 00:39:38,650
{\an8}I love you guys.

656
00:39:49,704 --> 00:39:52,874
{\an8}Governor Cuomo just
announced the first confirmed

657
00:39:52,874 --> 00:39:54,377
{\an8}case in New York City.

658
00:39:54,502 --> 00:39:56,879
The number of
cases has climbed to 5,000.

659
00:39:57,004 --> 00:39:58,965
Coronavirus crisis
in the nation's largest city

660
00:39:58,965 --> 00:40:01,426
is exploding.

661
00:40:01,552 --> 00:40:04,513
Bars, restaurants,
entertainment venues shut down

662
00:40:04,513 --> 00:40:07,934
in an attempt to slow the
rapidly spreading virus.

663
00:40:08,059 --> 00:40:14,024
In March of
2020, everything stopped.

664
00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:18,363
New York shut down almost
overnight.

665
00:40:18,363 --> 00:40:23,410
Theaters went dark, streets were
empty.

666
00:40:23,535 --> 00:40:26,205
We were one
of the first festivals that

667
00:40:26,205 --> 00:40:27,915
had to pause during COVID.

668
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:34,798
I was struck by the fact
that we started the festival

669
00:40:34,923 --> 00:40:36,467
to bring people together.

670
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:41,347
In COVID, we couldn't touch each
other.

671
00:40:41,347 --> 00:40:44,268
{\an8}Tribeca is now helping New

672
00:40:44,268 --> 00:40:48,982
{\an8}York rejuvenate post-COVID.

673
00:40:49,107 --> 00:40:52,944
{\an8}We've been through a grueling
year,
and it's been devastating,
frustrating,

674
00:40:52,944 --> 00:40:54,614
{\an8}at times frightening.

675
00:40:54,739 --> 00:40:57,617
Today, we're thrilled to be
able to bring the Tribeca Film

676
00:40:57,742 --> 00:41:00,120
Festival to all five boroughs as
a tribute

677
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,919
to storytelling and cultural
richness of every part of New
York.

678
00:41:07,378 --> 00:41:10,089
{\an8}Tribeca will be the
first in-person film festival

679
00:41:10,089 --> 00:41:14,428
{\an8}to take place in all of North
America
since the pandemic began over a
year ago.

680
00:41:14,428 --> 00:41:16,972
{\an8}Well, first
of all, congratulations.

681
00:41:17,097 --> 00:41:18,475
{\an8}Thank you. Thank you so much.

682
00:41:18,475 --> 00:41:22,520
{\an8}Jon Chu had one of his early
short films here at Tribeca.

683
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:24,649
{\an8}This is where we
started.

684
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:26,776
{\an8}When we came here for the first
time,

685
00:41:26,776 --> 00:41:31,657
{\an8}we were wide-eyed and innocent
within the heights being there.

686
00:41:31,657 --> 00:41:34,701
{\an8}It couldn't have been
more full circle for us.

687
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:37,121
We were back, and it was this
community

688
00:41:37,247 --> 00:41:39,999
in Washington Heights
where we premiered it,

689
00:41:40,124 --> 00:41:41,668
where we shot the movie.

690
00:41:41,668 --> 00:41:45,339
So to come back there
after being locked down

691
00:41:45,339 --> 00:41:50,720
to be outside just felt like
a return to not just home,

692
00:41:50,845 --> 00:41:52,222
but to normalcy.

693
00:41:52,222 --> 00:41:54,350
It was like breathing air again.

694
00:41:55,643 --> 00:41:57,228
{\an8}You just saw
people come back and just

695
00:41:57,228 --> 00:42:01,191
{\an8}for an hour or two, they were
able to
forget everything going on in
the world

696
00:42:01,191 --> 00:42:03,152
{\an8}and in their lives.

697
00:42:03,152 --> 00:42:05,737
We brought them entertainment.

698
00:42:05,737 --> 00:42:08,700
That was originally what
Tribeca was all about.

699
00:42:08,825 --> 00:42:13,831
It was amazing to see just New
Yorkers being New Yorkers again.

700
00:42:19,629 --> 00:42:21,506
Film has the
ability

701
00:42:21,506 --> 00:42:25,428
to take people out of
the world they live in

702
00:42:25,428 --> 00:42:27,388
and show them other things.

703
00:42:27,388 --> 00:42:31,435
{\an8}That's, for me, the beauty of
the arts.

704
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,395
{\an8}You are able to share.

705
00:42:33,395 --> 00:42:36,774
{\an8}This is what I think and this is
who I am.

706
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:37,400
{\an8}What am I doing?

707
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,068
I never come downtown?

708
00:42:39,194 --> 00:42:41,404
I hate downtown.

709
00:42:41,404 --> 00:42:44,241
Artists reveal certain truths
that
some people are afraid to face,
and

710
00:42:44,241 --> 00:42:47,453
that's why they're artists.

711
00:42:47,578 --> 00:42:52,209
At the end of the day, artists
are
just trying to point out what's
going on.

712
00:42:52,209 --> 00:42:53,627
{\an8}Art is inclusive.

713
00:42:53,752 --> 00:42:56,881
{\an8}It brings people together, like
tonight.

714
00:42:57,006 --> 00:43:00,302
{\an8}Art looks for truth,
art embraces diversity.

715
00:43:00,427 --> 00:43:03,722
And that's why art is a threat.

716
00:43:03,722 --> 00:43:09,646
That's why we are a threat
to autocrats and fascists.

717
00:43:09,771 --> 00:43:15,486
And this isn't just an American
problem, it's a global one.

718
00:43:15,611 --> 00:43:19,407
Unlike a film, we can't
just all sit back and watch.

719
00:43:19,407 --> 00:43:23,620
We have to act, and we have to
act now.

720
00:43:23,620 --> 00:43:27,041
{\an8}Another suspected
explosive was found in the mail.

721
00:43:27,041 --> 00:43:31,463
{\an8}That package sent to the Tribeca
offices of actor Robert De Niro.

722
00:43:31,588 --> 00:43:34,466
{\an8}Bob is
really fearless in what

723
00:43:34,591 --> 00:43:36,469
{\an8}he's willing to take on.

724
00:43:36,594 --> 00:43:39,973
{\an8}I feel betrayed by my country.

725
00:43:39,973 --> 00:43:43,519
It doesn't have to be perfect,
but it does need to return to
the

726
00:43:43,644 --> 00:43:46,105
values that gave us our
strength, and humanity.

727
00:43:48,149 --> 00:43:53,530
I'm
particularly
proud of him and his voice as

728
00:43:53,655 --> 00:43:58,244
an independent, free person,
speaking
about the situation that we're
living in.

729
00:43:58,244 --> 00:44:02,624
Someone like
Bob, when he uses his words,

730
00:44:02,624 --> 00:44:06,754
can bring people's
attention to certain issues.

731
00:44:06,754 --> 00:44:09,799
You're always about
lifting up everybody around you?

732
00:44:09,799 --> 00:44:12,261
- Yeah, of course.
- Why is that?

733
00:44:16,432 --> 00:44:17,349
You have to.

734
00:44:17,767 --> 00:44:19,311
You have to lift people up.

735
00:44:19,311 --> 00:44:20,520
Why?

736
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,941
You have to bring them together.
Period.

737
00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:27,612
You can't divide people.

738
00:44:27,612 --> 00:44:28,279
You can't win that way.

739
00:44:36,289 --> 00:44:37,916
It's a no win situation.

740
00:44:42,713 --> 00:44:46,843
We give out an
award
that the late Paula Weinstein
started

741
00:44:46,968 --> 00:44:50,513
in honor of Harry Belafonte
for artists and activism.

742
00:44:50,513 --> 00:44:53,392
Artists are the gatekeepers of
truth.

743
00:44:53,392 --> 00:44:58,773
This year,
we're giving
Belafonte Award to Bruce
Springsteen.

744
00:44:58,773 --> 00:45:03,779
He's not afraid to fight back
with his words, his music,

745
00:45:03,779 --> 00:45:06,657
and about what's been
going on in this country.

746
00:45:06,782 --> 00:45:09,995
{\an8}This past winter, federal troops

747
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,293
{\an8}brought death and terror to
the streets of Minneapolis.

748
00:45:15,293 --> 00:45:18,421
{\an8}Bruce is exactly the
right
person to write that lament,

749
00:45:18,421 --> 00:45:22,426
{\an8}"Streets of Minneapolis," right
at the
moment when we all needed to
hear.

750
00:45:27,056 --> 00:45:30,894
Through
the winter's ice and cold

751
00:45:30,894 --> 00:45:36,025
America tells its story in
cinema.

752
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:37,526
Cinema is where the American
dream was

753
00:45:37,526 --> 00:45:41,531
encoded before it was exported.

754
00:45:41,531 --> 00:45:42,574
And what followed?

755
00:45:42,699 --> 00:45:45,118
American music.

756
00:45:45,244 --> 00:45:48,539
Johnny Cash was America,
Aretha Franklin was America,

757
00:45:48,539 --> 00:45:51,543
Harry Belafonte was America.

758
00:45:51,543 --> 00:45:54,213
Bruce Springsteen is America.

759
00:45:57,759 --> 00:46:03,056
Some songs managed to
change, not just the room

760
00:46:03,181 --> 00:46:04,642
that they recorded in, or they
can change

761
00:46:04,642 --> 00:46:08,104
the atmosphere of a time.

762
00:46:08,104 --> 00:46:12,901
And we know how serious you
feel,

763
00:46:12,901 --> 00:46:15,571
what you're feeling for your
country.

764
00:46:15,571 --> 00:46:17,240
I always work for me inside out.

765
00:46:17,365 --> 00:46:21,620
So you're sitting around,
and I'm just pissed off.

766
00:46:21,620 --> 00:46:26,417
And if you-- art has the
chance to shape culture.

767
00:46:26,542 --> 00:46:28,586
Culture shapes politics.

768
00:46:28,586 --> 00:46:31,131
Culture and politics shape the
nation.

769
00:46:31,131 --> 00:46:33,634
And that's the business we're
in.

770
00:46:33,634 --> 00:46:36,262
Bruce Springsteen.

771
00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:38,597
As if you didn't know.

772
00:46:48,234 --> 00:46:50,528
{\an8}If you look
through
history, the town is destroyed.

773
00:46:50,528 --> 00:46:52,531
{\an8}People leave it.

774
00:46:52,740 --> 00:46:54,617
{\an8}They'll go to another place.

775
00:46:54,617 --> 00:46:56,118
{\an8}They didn't leave.

776
00:46:56,118 --> 00:46:58,747
{\an8}Instead, put back in and
resurrected,

777
00:46:58,747 --> 00:46:59,664
{\an8}really the spirit of the city.

778
00:47:02,334 --> 00:47:04,837
{\an8}We had done a film, Gangs
of New York at the time,

779
00:47:04,962 --> 00:47:06,839
{\an8}and the draft riots took place
right here.

780
00:47:06,839 --> 00:47:10,594
{\an8}And that was one of the worst
riots in American history.

781
00:47:10,594 --> 00:47:14,723
{\an8}So these cataclysms occur.

782
00:47:14,723 --> 00:47:17,769
{\an8}But it didn't stop the
evolution.

783
00:47:19,729 --> 00:47:20,855
{\an8}Tribeca has
become

784
00:47:20,855 --> 00:47:23,525
{\an8}a festival you have to be
thinking about in the festival

785
00:47:23,651 --> 00:47:25,694
{\an8}world, wherever you are.

786
00:47:25,694 --> 00:47:27,656
{\an8}There's an energy downtown.

787
00:47:27,656 --> 00:47:30,659
{\an8}It's things going on in the
streets.

788
00:47:30,659 --> 00:47:33,621
{\an8}It was a
celebration,

789
00:47:33,621 --> 00:47:34,664
{\an8}and it really said life goes on.

790
00:47:34,789 --> 00:47:38,793
{\an8}And it really said film is
important.

791
00:47:38,793 --> 00:47:41,880
{\an8}It's like Coney Island for the
soul.

792
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,049
{\an8}That's what the festival is.

793
00:47:44,174 --> 00:47:47,595
{\an8}And for me, it's always shiny
that way.

794
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:51,266
{\an8}It's super
important
to have these film festivals,
where

795
00:47:51,266 --> 00:47:54,645
{\an8}people can actually commune,
communicate,

796
00:47:54,645 --> 00:47:56,647
{\an8}and have a dialogue.

797
00:47:56,647 --> 00:47:58,983
{\an8}That's what it's about really.

798
00:47:58,983 --> 00:48:02,320
At film
festivals, you're not arguing,

799
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,364
you're listening.

800
00:48:03,364 --> 00:48:06,701
And I think listening is
becoming a lost skill.

801
00:48:08,828 --> 00:48:11,748
The pillars that we've put in
place

802
00:48:11,873 --> 00:48:15,336
in terms of artists and
activism,

803
00:48:15,336 --> 00:48:19,590
hopefully that's something
that can bring people together

804
00:48:19,716 --> 00:48:21,677
for another 25 years.

805
00:48:31,980 --> 00:48:37,403
There are so many of our
new colleagues here that

806
00:48:37,528 --> 00:48:39,197
don't remember 9/11.

807
00:48:39,197 --> 00:48:45,079
Some of you weren't
even born on 9/11, 2001.

808
00:48:45,204 --> 00:48:49,751
I want to invite all of you to
the 9/11 Museum and Memorial.

809
00:48:49,751 --> 00:48:51,628
We'll have a tour.

810
00:48:51,754 --> 00:48:55,758
I've been a part of the
museum since the beginning.

811
00:48:55,758 --> 00:48:58,386
And I'm excited about showing it
to you.

812
00:49:01,431 --> 00:49:03,768
Two square memorial
pools, the waterfalls, right?

813
00:49:03,768 --> 00:49:05,811
That's where the towers once
stood.

814
00:49:08,939 --> 00:49:10,776
This is foundation hall,
and foundation hall

815
00:49:10,901 --> 00:49:14,946
is an archeological site.

816
00:49:14,946 --> 00:49:17,492
So that wall has a lot of
importance.

817
00:49:19,202 --> 00:49:22,414
The slurry wall served as a
symbol of resilience after

818
00:49:22,414 --> 00:49:22,915
the 9/11 attacks.

819
00:49:26,502 --> 00:49:29,297
We're going
through the story of 9/11,

820
00:49:29,422 --> 00:49:35,638
but just as important is
also what happened on 9/12.

821
00:49:35,638 --> 00:49:37,473
People came together.

822
00:49:37,473 --> 00:49:39,810
You suddenly got to know
who your neighbors were.

823
00:49:39,935 --> 00:49:42,854
That brought the festival
together

824
00:49:42,854 --> 00:49:43,855
and the community together.

825
00:49:57,288 --> 00:49:59,541
New Yorkers
and the rest of this country

826
00:49:59,666 --> 00:50:01,751
proved that it wasn't about
rebuilding the steel and glass.

827
00:50:05,006 --> 00:50:09,511
It was about showing the
world what we represent,

828
00:50:09,511 --> 00:50:13,849
that we're here for each other
and that we will continue

829
00:50:13,849 --> 00:50:16,894
to go on no matter what.

830
00:50:29,034 --> 00:50:31,995
Patti Smith.

831
00:50:31,995 --> 00:50:33,831
{\an8}There were desserts

832
00:50:33,831 --> 00:50:35,791
{\an8}I saw the fountains

833
00:50:35,791 --> 00:50:37,918
{\an8}And like cream

834
00:50:38,044 --> 00:50:40,255
{\an8}The waters rise

835
00:50:40,255 --> 00:50:44,051
{\an8}And we strolled there together

836
00:50:44,051 --> 00:50:48,431
We learned to laugh or criticize

837
00:50:48,556 --> 00:50:49,974
I was dreaming

838
00:50:50,099 --> 00:50:52,102
In my dreaming

839
00:50:52,227 --> 00:50:56,065
God knows a pure view

840
00:50:56,065 --> 00:51:00,612
As I surrender into my sleeping

841
00:51:00,737 --> 00:51:02,530
I commit

842
00:51:02,530 --> 00:51:04,617
My dream to you

843
00:51:04,617 --> 00:51:06,118
Come on

844
00:51:06,243 --> 00:51:07,870
People have the power

845
00:51:07,870 --> 00:51:10,749
To dream

846
00:51:10,749 --> 00:51:12,793
People have the power

847
00:51:12,793 --> 00:51:14,753
To vote

848
00:51:14,878 --> 00:51:17,382
People have the power

849
00:51:17,382 --> 00:51:17,965
To match

850
00:51:18,091 --> 00:51:21,387
People have the power

851
00:51:21,512 --> 00:51:22,846
To love

852
00:51:22,846 --> 00:51:25,599
Power to dream

853
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:27,310
To rule

854
00:51:27,435 --> 00:51:30,855
To wrestle the world from fools

855
00:51:30,855 --> 00:51:33,818
It's decreed

856
00:51:33,943 --> 00:51:34,819
The people rule

857
00:51:34,819 --> 00:51:37,571
Well, it's decreed

858
00:51:37,571 --> 00:51:39,741
The people rule

859
00:51:39,741 --> 00:51:40,617
Listen,

860
00:51:40,742 --> 00:51:43,954
I believe everything we dream

861
00:51:43,954 --> 00:51:49,085
Can come to pass through our
union

862
00:51:49,085 --> 00:51:53,006
We can turn the world around

863
00:51:53,006 --> 00:51:56,885
We can turn the Earth's
revolution

864
00:51:56,885 --> 00:51:59,973
We have the power

865
00:51:59,973 --> 00:52:03,853
People have the power

866
00:52:03,978 --> 00:52:05,730
Don't forget it

867
00:52:05,730 --> 00:52:08,774
Use your voice.
