The point of the campaign was to have New Yorkers vote and pick one film out of five selections to watch together. The goal is to unite the city. So, on September 13th, Crooklyn will be played for free in various locations throughout New York city.

The Alfre Woodard and Delroy Lindo-lead film beat out other classics likeOn the Town, New York, New York, Desperately Seeking Susan, and The Wedding Banquet.
