Subscribe to the documentary to. Live. For to me to lawrence nothing is the same anymore the heart of new york her city it still beats but much more slowly than it did before shes been performing on broadway stages for 10 years. But everythings been closed down years since the outbreak of the pandemic thats it or now i feel sorry to part break bad i did. That i didnt feel before. Whats next for to make up whats next for new york in the city recover from the pandemic. Manhattan times square but theres one place in the world where life never stand still its right here. But now all of this magical place is deserted. Almost. Let me go runs into some colleagues by chance theyre also musicians and currently out of work but theyre busy shooting the music video for the internet as superheroes super powers cant hurt right know. That. Their. New york the city where dreams are meant to become reality right now its more like a nightmare from. The borders have been closed for months there are no tourists no shows. And no money. America is faltering and for new yorkers like to me every day has become a struggle to carry on and be able to remain in the city she made enormous sacrifices to make it to broadway. When i close my eyes and when i would dream i just saw myself once a day so thats where i started to see that coming here it took a lot of discipline so when everybodys like partying in college i was working 2 jobs i was studying in a conservatory i was taking my liberal arts classes to you and then doing an internship at that Theater Company acting in those shows. And sell every. Our. It takes some people years to get up. But. Its her version of the american dream. But the dream at least for now. Closed because of the coronavirus pandemic and it was recently announced that they will remain closed at least until next june. Is about a black woman living in america. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement an important topic now just before the president ial election because the u. S. Is more divided today than its been in a very long time into opponents and supporters of president and also in the question of whether black americans are still systematically disadvantaged i feel sad and. Partially. But also i feel more sad for people who. Would benefit from. I feel for that family i. You know may not understand why people say black lives matter who might want to see this because its just. Something in their heart to understand why people say that. This pandemic is pulling American Society even further apart. In new york city alone roughly 24000 people have already died from the virus thanks to strict regulations such as extensive masking the citys been able to keep the virus better in check recently. But the number of infections is slowly rising again and in other parts of the country the situation is much more menacing. Black americans like to me are especially concerned statistically their risk of infection is 3 times higher than that of their fellow white citizens. The pandemic is bringing the deep seeded inequality with an American Society back to the surface something that also worries to meter a great deal. For her home is in the bronx the poorest baro in new york city. Here to meet has kept busy with her new side job since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic shes been designing fashion and jewelry with social critical and political messages. A little extra income in these hard times. She puts her finger in the open wounds of American Society with many of her designs. Wants to do her part to make sure that things get back on track in america this is one reason why all her products are made in the usa its important to have stuff made in the us here because it means keeping americans employed because employment leads to Health Coverage to less stress hopefully. And. I think that at a time like this said super imperative to think about that. Why. The letter. Yeah. A lot of the. Josh also hopes for a better future. He into me could have been friends since they appeared on a broadway stage together. Josh too lost his job because of the coronavirus but unlike to me he decided to leave new york like so many others. Since the pandemic has you know forced me to. Sustain life here for a lot of people right so i or so later its in my place im in california actually staying in my parents mobile didnt make sense to stay here if i didnt have work when the only keeps me here is. The work you know i mean im going to. The sounds paycheck in the city are by those well have someone else pay my rent he needs to be here and spend time with my friends that was the main aim now josh is visiting for a few weeks because he managed to get a couple of small gigs. But the citys not what he remembers. Its a strange feeling because the city is very. Different i mean its choir you dont have that sea of. Folks that are coming in to see shows and you know this varies from all over the world just basically have new yorkers the most part so theres a part of it thats that refreshing is a part of that its a little sad but you know i know there were strong city folk and its true that were going to bounce back soon im praying on it when she has time to meet also looks in on her neighbors. Today she meets james in the lobby. To. Both things thank you for. All we read and. Oh ok i have like the devotionals with it too so have the super bowl for the bush and. You all just move just move. Completely. Jay has diabetes and his left foot had to be amputated shortly before the pandemic like him a disproportionately high number of black americans suffer from preexisting conditions and are especially at risk during the pandemic. I just thought it physical. The more trying. To make a i was not out of rehab because i was considered high risk and the last one still in this chair and i wont. Know this is a daily thing come out. Go back in. This is what. We just have to keep on going forward. Trying to stay alive. But many werent so lucky. That let the hospital is just around the corner from to me because apartment. She will never forget the weeks when the city was the world wide at the center of the pandemic. Overpass here and. You know semi trucks that were for all the feet bodies. Of that analysis very alarming. It was a very scary time the conscious. Sirens going off the streets were very empty it made me feel like it was kind of the end of the world. But it was not yet here. As the number of new cases in new york increases so does the fear of a 2nd wave im afraid what will happen because of that im afraid that i wont be able to see my parents because of it or visit them or make sure that theyre ok im afraid that. Everything will close in the entire economy and all the business this wall collapsed because of it i guess im more afraid of the ramifications of how will affect people and then what it will do to me. Evening lawrence is drawn back to times square for many people its the symbol of new york for her its a place full of beautiful memories has been here at nighttime to fill for joy yet its nice to know that its not really empty. And we have what was i really like that. Vibrancy of times square and the fire and sea of new york and thats something that i was nervous was going to be gone forever but its nice to see that there are still people who want to come in times square and think you know why i think its beautiful. And it is just to me to hope that new york and new yorkers will also overcome this crisis somehow.

Its im a large of french palace design viennese broke and italian architectural art. A total of 40 rooms are open for viewing among the most impressive parts is the staircase with the Worlds Largest ceiling fresco painted by giovanni but he started. Its nothing short of a miracle that the vast artwork survived the 2nd world war undamaged while most of the rest of the palace was bombed. The ground whitehall had to be restored.

Here on the south side of the yacht. She is in that you see the little gates that with the entrances to the stables. To them stolen one of them the many rings on the wall and thats where they tied up the horses. In the center of the courtyard is the horse trough where the horses were washed. We continued to the oldest gate of the fortress from 1482 it shows the 3 monks. Coleman and thought no 3 stars are for its burke. I dont know why are they so important and why do they have these funny names they came from our islands and they were irish scottish monks and christianized this area and unfortunately they died a martyrs death here before in the inner courtyard just behind the gate my. Most of the buildings state from the renaissance. And ill show you the very oldest part of the fortress that you can still see thats because. The fortified tower from the middle ages would serve the ruling family as a refuge if attackers happened to breach the main gate. There today the tower has 2 entrances. They werent there in the middle ages of course you could only get in through one door about 10 meters up from here. That i may tell you reached it by a ladder that could be pulled up. And what did they do with the 1st 10 meters. That was a dungeon. It was a bottle dungeon the prisoners were let down through a hole on a rope letter with unexpected difficulties. It was a bit of.

No fat and actually quite handsome. The fortress now houses the museum for funky on
