Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A profile of the self-proclaimed "Mayor of Strawberry Fields," who resides at John Lennon's Imagine Memorial in Central Park, and regularly decorates the monument with flowers and fruit. Some see Gary as an artist, while others view his decorations as something akin to graffiti. By offering a glimpse into Gary's daily life, filmmakers Nate Harar, Chris Harar and Torre Catalano force us to reevaluate our definition of what it means to be homeless, and reassess our definition of family.
