Full Plot Details

Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse communities in the United States and the world. There are immigrants from every country in South America, Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and China. Some are citizens, some have green cards, some are without documents. The people who live in Jackson Heights, in their cultural, racial and ethnic diversity, are representative of the new wave of immigrants to America. 167 languages are spoken in Jackson Heights. Some of the issues the film raises-assimilation, integration, immigration and cultural and religious differences-are common to all the major cities of the Western world. The subject of the film is the daily life of the people in this community-their businesses, community centers, religions, and political, cultural and social lives-and the conflict between maintaining ties to traditions of the countries of origin and the need to learn and adapt to American ways and values. This is Frederick Wiseman's third film about communities, the others being ASPEN and BELFAST, MAINE. In these films, as in all his films, he is trying to present a broad and complex portrait of contemporary life.

Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaUm filme que inspira humanidade e expira empatia.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Jaime N. ChristleyThe lightning in the film’s bottle isn’t some generic feel-good humanism, but a complicated one, fighting for its own existence, sometimes angry, sometimes despondent.
New Yorker - 10/10 by Richard BrodyWiseman’s very subject is the difference between neighborhood and community—between the happenstance of urban geography and the commitment of self-identification.
Film Comment Magazine - 10/10 by Eric HynesWhether we're digging in, driving by, spending time with or merely glimpsing, going long or going short, there's not a frame of In Jackson Heights that isn't completely, fully, fascinatingly there.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Chris BarsantiIt would be difficult to find a stronger, more effective rebuke to Tea Party reactionaries who would erase Emma Lazarus' welcoming words from a certain statue in New York Harbor.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 10/10 by Louis ProyectFrederick Wiseman, now 85, has made a politically engaged film about people confronting the gentrification that is robbing NY of its soul. Great work by our greatest documentary filmmaker.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Alan ScherstuhlIt's a work of community portraiture that slowly develops into collective drama
Movie Mezzanine - 9/10 by Jake ColeWiseman's film is a beautiful tribute to a community with dozens of nationalities and languages...
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Matt Zoller SeitzIt's hard to write about In Jackson Heights without sounding like you're trying to write poetry.
The New Republic - 9/10 by Brandon HarrisWiseman's work takes on the moral density of a Dickens novel. It's smart enough to find the moments that show our civilization, as big and complex and troubled as it is, is still worth fighting for.
