In 2003, eight young Rhode Island artists created a secret apartment in a hidden space inside the Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification and a boundary-pushing work of public/private art. Featuring never-before-seen footage of the space and revealing the identities of all the participants for the first time. (Run Time: 1 hr 32 min / Not Rated)
