NYC1981 - A Most Violent Year

In the shadow of the glam and libertarian city of New York, especially in the years of glorious circles trendy divided between Pop Art Warhol, worldliness and wild lust for celebrity, hides his ancestral dark side, whose culmination is reached in the year proclaimed as the most violent and outrageous of all time: 1981.

Lately Austin Peters made a documentary in which there are eyewitness accounts of those who, protagonists and victims, lived on their skin all the experiences of that year "NYC, 1981", which is a kind of appendix to the film J.C.Chandor "A Most Violent Year ": prostitution, drug feuds and criminals out of control; dirty money and thirst for unscrupulous social climbing touched high peaks never before.

NYC, 1981 is also a site that scours minutely every detail of that year: fashions, trends, crimes, photos, a real city news, a database of information, a monograph of its own, which testifies to everything that happened in the infamous 1981 New York.

 NYC, 1981 is a kind of magnifying glass that sheds light on many obscure issues that intertwine political classes and toxic street, crime and justice, making you feel lucky all those who were not there in that city and in that year risking life.
