Austin Peters has created a short documentary about New York City life in 1981, a time when New York was incredibly corrupt and “gritty”. In this documentary, they’ve pulled stories from some of the staple New York City characters including Curtis Sliwa from the Guardian Angels. This film and the 1981.nyc website are part of the marketing campaign for the movie A Most Violent Year which is set in this slice of New York City’s past. In theaters now.
