Synopsis
Filmmaker Mark Street examines the similarities and differences of five different cultures as he searches for signs of social change in this experimental documentary. In Hidden In Plain Sight, Street and his camera travel to five major cities in different nations-- the United States (New York City), Vietnam (Hanoi), France (Marseilles), Senegal (Dakar) and Chile (Santiago). At each stop, Street observes the people, the traffic patterns and the scenery while looking for evidence of revolutionary political thought as the principles of Ho Chi Minh and Salvador Allende pop up in unexpected places. Featuring a score by noted cellist Jane Scarpantoni, Hidden In Plain Sight was an official selection at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, was it was screened as part of the "Progressive Landscapes" series. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
