Mayor of Strawberry Fields
Censor rating: PG-13
Documentary, Biography, Short
Duration: 00:38:10
Story:
This short documentary is a moving look into the quirky homeless subculture living in Central Park. Gary, the self-proclaimed "Mayor" of Strawberry Fields, has lived at John Lennon's Imagine Memorial and decorated it with flowers for the past 14 years. The film delves deep into Gary's euphoric yet dysfunctional life on the streets, and takes the audience into a world only a true rock and roll fan would understand. Whether it's the searing city heat or blistering cold of winter, Gary stands by the memorial with flowers from bodega dumpsters, and gives the world, as he says, the peace sign it needs."
Like any average Joe, Gary has a wife, a dog and a daily routine. His unorthodox profession has started to make his artwork yet another landmark of Manhattan, and through his own self promotion, made him a celebrity in his own rite. Maybe this "bum" actually has more to say than you think.
