SYNOPSIS

At the intersection of Broadway and Thornton St in Brooklyn, a loose community of delivery workers gathers every day to hang out and share their experiences while waiting for their next job. The (Other) 700 Club opens the door to a microcosm of street philosophers that discuss about their own beliefs, goals and motivations. A poetic reflection on the reality of the high speed capitalist system in which we are trapped, but at the same time keeps us moving in order to survive.
